After early sparring Kiron Phillips burst free to score but Bromsgrove continued to work hard in a fierce contest.  The sides were evenly matched but the difference was Bromsgrove’s turbo-charged winger who scored three tries all from long distance.  Rugby would not lie down and pinned Bromsgrove on their line until Tom Swindell burrowed over close to the posts.  Kiron Phillips kicked the conversion for a tie at half time but the second half was heartbreaking - the Lions showed   great commitment but could not match the blistering pace of Bromsgrove’s exceptional winger.

Hung over from Bromsgrove Rugby underperformed in a scrappy contest punctuated with far too much whistle and lost when recent form suggested a comfortable win.  Birmingham scored twice from spilled ball against the run of play but the final indignity came when Birmingham knocked on 22 metres out and James Scott picked up to cross near the posts but after calling advantage the referee inexplicably bought play back for a scrum to Rugby.  Lions eventually showed glimpses of their true ability and Tom Swindell scored a fine individual try that Kiron Phillips converted with the last kick.

Unhappy with the Birmingham debacle Rugby showed real character right from the start.  The whole squad played their part in a much improved performance and for 15 minutes Sils were pinned down allowing Zac Baldwin to plunder two tries and convert one.  Rugby suffered a setback in losing influential captain Kiron Phillips and during the re-shuffle 'Sils' ran in three tries.  With their backs to the wall Lions scored again when Rory Holmes fed Jonny Ure who used his own speed to score.  Zac Baldwin laughed at the pressure to convert for a well earned draw.  The exceptional Tom Swindell was voted 'Man of the Tournament'.
