Last Saturday Otliensians seconds fell short against a strong Ilkley 2nd XV at Chaffers Field.
The first half was a close contest, but with only 13 on the field for the last 20 minutes due to injury, the 'Dalesmen' upped the tempo and increased their lead. It was undoubtedly Ensians 2ndXV toughest challenge of the season so far, but as always they showed huge heart, grit and solidarity.
The match closed at 12:36
Man of the Match goes to the man, the myth, the skipper: Joffer. He brought real ferocity up front and led by example throughout.
Congratulations as well to J&C Landscapes, who claim the first free two pints of the season for the 2ndXV.
