Match report:
CCRFC v Milborne Port

The fourth annual end of season "sheds" game was played for the first time at Castle Cary. The game kicked of with Cary playing down the slope in the first half, hoping to make the most of this advantage. At first things went well with an early penalty from Gaz Reynolds as normal kicker, Ben Snook, turned up late. Shortly afterwards Devon Waine had a blistering run from the left wing to score, with his pace allowing him to out-run Milborne with ease. Waine was unlucky not achieve a successive try from a chip and chase a few minutes later that saw Milborne's Joe Dominey completely outpaced.

A few mistakes got into Cary's game and this lead to Milborne getting back into the game at half time with an unconverted try. The second half saw a rejuvenated Cary playing up the slope with Cary adding three breakaway tries from John Clay, all converted by Cary's stand-in kicker, Reynolds. Milborne did not give up the chase and forced Cary into a few mistakes: one saw veteran Steve Armson attempt a cross-field kick which led to Milborne's second try, which was scored by Chris Plumber and converted by Tim Berry.

The game was played in great sprit and was a good end to the season. Cary's Man of the Match was Alan Bevin, who played well at second row.
