Weybridge Vandals 21 pts Old Guildfordians 14 pts

Fielding the majority of their second XV, Vandals still had too much firepower for Old Guildfordians, who nevertheless made them fight hard for their victory. Having scored their second try the old boys tails are up and they encamped in vandals half in search of the equalising score but Vandals defence remained solid and aggressive as it had done for much of the game and their attacking play gave them 3 tries all of which were converted and a well-deserved win.

All the early pressure came from vandals with winger Jack Yates and centre Lloyd Pullen breaking through the defence and their forwards notably lock Richard Crabb and flanker Lewis Carman making their mark in the set pieces and driving mauls. But it was Guildfordians who were first to strike forcing Vandals into a handling error and pouncing for the try which they converted to lead by 7 points. From the restart Vandals struck deep into the opposing 22 and Flanker Carl Hoade pierced the defence for a fine individual try which he himself converted. He repeated the process minutes later and vandals went into half time on top and leading by 14 pts to 7.

They were immediately on the attack on the resumption but got turned over and Guildford ran the ball back in an attempt to break out of their 22 but were met with stern resistance. Every move they tried was undone by vandals tacking and eventually they conceded a penalty. Vandals chose the scrum from which they spread the ball wide for winger Callum Chaplin to dive over for his side's 3rd try. Again Hoade converted to open up the points difference to 14.

Vandals recovered from a brief period of pressure from the old boys and the well-judged kick took them within scoring range but for all the pressure they were exerting they could not get the score which would have sealed the game and when they were penalised at the set piece, Guildfordians made them pay. Going through the phases they sliced through again for their second try, their lead now cut to just 7 points Vandals tightened up and in the remaining minutes they wanted majority of challenges and saw out the game giving them a highly satisfying success
