Burton v Lichfield

An eagerly awaited ‘friendly’ between Burton and their local rivals Lichfield, took place on the pitch at Peel Croft.

From the off, both sides were evenly matched, with scores coming from breaks on both sides, the first try being taken by Lichfield at the 9 minute mark with the conversion being successful. Burton replied very quickly with Jacob Ruprecht touching down for Burton. The conversion didn’t go to plan, leaving the home side 2 points behind. Unfortunately, Lichfield made the most of their breaks, despite Edward Robson scoring another try and Travis Day converting it for Burton, the score ended a disappointing Burton 12- 31 Lichfield
