Great day at the office for half-century hitting Peterborough RUFC, but Peterborough Lions beaten again

Borough had played just once in two months, but they were far from rusty. They fired on all cylinders from the start helped by a dominant display at the scrums, led by power prop Daniel O’Connell.

This dominance enabled the backs to play expansively and they really enjoyed themselves. First-half tries arrived from James Fear, Joe Andresen, Josh Casbon and two from Byron Van Uden who also kicked seven conversions in the game from 8 attempts to give him a personal tally of 24 points.

Borough, who are now fifth, led 35-0 at the break and, even though the second-half was a scrappy affair, Josh Myles, Aram Jones and Robert Moulds all scored tries before hosts managed a late consolation score.

Peterborough Lions went down 27-7 at home to Olney to remain bottom of the table. Ben Wilkinson scored their try.
