A good even game with both sides having opportunities to break the deadlock in the first half. Stags came closest with Adam Rickwood being held up over the line. The second half more of the same rugby. Peterborough broke the deadlock with a blind side break from a scrum with a chip ahead resulting in their winger diving on the ball as it dribbled over the try line.

The try was unconverted.

The Staggerers then had all the possession, but seemed unable to make the final pass to score the try.

With five minutes left on the clock Staggerers drove a rolling maul up the pitch getting very close to the line. Staggerers retained possession with Sid flopping over the line from at least 2 meters away. Wilcox then stepped up to take the conversion, complaining that there was no tee available. A mud tee was quickly built, a work of art, and Wilcox converted the try.
