It was inevitable at the start of the day that this was to be a tough and frustrating game of rugby as the rain lashed down.

Tows started well pushing a line out drive over from close up, Captain Liam Wilkinson dotted down.

Playing down the slope however Tows failed to capitalize on their territory and poor discipline allowed Buzzard to find some great field positions.

Both sides seemed intent on spreading the ball wide however with the conditions being so bad this was hard work.

The second half was largely played in the middle of the field and for some time it was a stale mate, the hosts then finally found their way to the try, only for their conversion to hit the posts.

With Tows line out struggling, opportunities went begging and towards the end of the game, to the astonishment of Tom George he received a yellow card in front of the posts, Buzzard kicking the resulting penalty to take the game in the closing stages.
