Sils. On the attack from the kick off deep into the Walsall half where George was run into touch to give a Walsall line out which they kicked to clear. Walsall then on the attack but a great tackle from Sam H for a turnover ball and fast ball out to Oscar who ran made a great run passing out to Henry Crowther to run the ball over for Sils first try.

Following the Walsall kick off Sam H had another great run, supported by George who took a knock to his eye but was OK to play on. Ben Graddon made a storming run and it took four Walsall players to bring him down. Great run and side step from Sam H to offload to James for Sils second try and this time conversion too from Luke.

Great catch and drive from Mark Berry following the kick off giving Sils first scrum after the ref (Kev) got in the way!

Walsall then had a penalty kick which Ethan chased down and forced a knock on. Sils scrum, pass out to Ethan who ran in between the posts to score try number three which Luke converted again.

Sils forced turnover straight from the kick off and Ethan ran the length of the pitch to score try number four in the far corner of the pitch. This gave a tough angle for the covers ion kick but Luke slotted it between the posts.

Sils again attacked straight from the kick off with a great run from Ben Smith, Sam H and Ben Graddon to get the Walsall 22. Ben Graddon then ran cross pitch to score try five in the corner and again Luke converted from a difficult angle just before the half time whistle.

Walsall came out fighting after half time and Sils were forced to defend their line. Both teams fought well but Walsall drove the mall over for their first try right in the corner but didn't manage to covert from the tight angle.

A good run of end to end play resulted in Walsall stealing the ball from a Sils line out to drive towards the line then with a great side step, Walsall ran the ball in between the posts to score try two and then kicked to convert.

Play stopped briefly after the ball was kicked into the tree and for a Walsall injury and then Jack made a great run from the line out and offloaded to Jo Munns. Ben Smith switched back across the pitch to set up Luke to score between the posts and Luke then kicked the final conversion.

Final score 37:12 to Sils.
