Peterborough RUFC continue to aim heavy friendly fire at their rivals and the club’s young sides are also going well

Borough first team man-of-the-match Nicholas Harris.

Borough travelled with a mixture of first and second team players plus a couple of colts, while the hosts also experimented with their line-up.

Heavy rain meant many ealy handling errors and a habit of trying to pass out of the tackle also caused problems, but Borough were unstoppabel once they hit their stride.

The city side ran in nine tries through Matt Waitman (2), Francis Cook (2), Dewi Pearce, Rob Jacobs, James Stuffins, Ross Chamberlain and Ryan Adams. Stuffins kicked four conversions, with Byron Van Uden (2) and Jacobs also kicking extras.

Manning said: “We were trying to do too much in the rain which was a bit frustrating, but once we settled down there was some good stuff.

“I used the game to take a look at a few of our colts and there was senior debuts for brothers George and Joseph Waitman, and man of the match Nicholas Harris.

“Nicholas was very impressive at scrum half. He showed a few of the senior players how to handle in the rain.”

Borough travel to Stamford for a friendly tomorrow (Friday) before taking a month off before pre-season,
