St Francis steal the points
Shoreham had a chance to put the game out of St Francis' reach in the closing stages when they were awarded a penalty in front of the posts. However, they kicked for touch, looking to pick up a try from a maul from the line-out.
The line-out was turned over, tackles were missed and St Francis broke, touching down just before the referee blew the full-time whistle.

Gary Howarth soon kicked a penalty for Shoreham but St Francis increased their lead to 11-3.
After that, Shoreham began to take control and following several steady controlled mauls, scrum-half Sam Eaves went over for a push-over try.
