By Hugo Austin, As opposed to last week’s somewhat disappointing performance, Tows came out brightly, taking the game to the visitors from the start.

The renewed urgency was encapsulated by David Williams running a spectacular angle to dot down under the posts. James Falvey converted.
Towcester’s second try came from Craig Holton setting off his 21st birthday celebrations well. Falvey again added the points.
Despite having to play four props in the pack due to injury, Tows were dominant in possession, and with Loughborough resorting to kicking away possession full back Matt Yuill capitalized to find Charlie Barker in support for Tows third try.
On the point of half time the referee Mr Wearing handed out 2 yellow cards to debutant hooker Fen Gallagher and scrum half Dave Stocks to see Tows down to 13 men.
After the interval Towcester heads did not drop however andthe 13 man side produced some excellent tries.
Breaking blind from a scrum, winger Adam Wilkinson broke through multiple tackles to find Yuill in support, he was soon followed by Barker who finished out wide for a scintillating score.
Borough eventually came back with a try from fly half Jack Partington.
Tows sealed the win with a try finished by Martyn Harvey who latched on to another break from David Williams.
Influential replacement Marc Yeates came on to rub salt into the wounds of the Loughborough team as he carved holes in in the defence to finally release Chrissie George to run in, Falvey converted.
In an attempt to run from their own line Tows clumsily conceded a last minute try from Loughborough scrum half Marsden.
Next week Tows travel to take on the unbeaten Peterborough Lions.
