Berry Hill’s county plate final against Old Richians turned out to be a nail biting affair. A close match was always on the cards and it took most of the first half before the deadlock was broken and Hill opened up the scoring with Kyle Bundy seizing on a loose ball after they had just been turned over in a scrum deep in Richians half. Ryan Dawson slotted the conversion between the posts giving Hill a slim 7 points margin going into the second half. Hill picked up the pace and started to apply some pressure nearly scoring again but they lost possession close to the line allowing Richians to come back and level the score. The tension started to mount as the minutes ebbed away with Hill again pushing hard in Richians half and finally being rewarded with a try as the forwards created a rolling mawl to put prop Conor Evans over the line. It was then left to captain Harry Brown to take the most important kick of the game and maximize the points. Richians however were not about to give up and came back with a try but the kick went wide leaving Hill narrowly in the lead with 5 minutes to go. It was now all about keeping the ball to the final whistle to round off the most exciting game of the season.
