This battle continued until boro scored the first try only for brods to respond with their own, from jimmy hodkinson. Boroscored again and again brods retaliated with a try from jimmy Millington. This continued all the first half tit for tat from both sides with neither gaining the upper hand.
The second half started with brods going down the hill and everything looked good for a great second half, again boro defended well and forced the play back up field to score. Brods worked well and Millington went in for the 2nd of his tally of 4 for the day. George ayreton kicked the con and brods sniffed the lead for once in the game.
