Camp Hill kicked-off on a very dry and sunny afternoon and with Charl Neethling setting up a good platform a good pick-up by Dave Archer saw him kick deep into opposition territory. But as Burton continued attacking poor foresight and handling saw the Camp Hill centre Simon Edwards nearly race clear thanks to an attempted interception inside his own twenty-two, but fortunately he knocked-on and Burton could breathe easier. However, this type of erratic handling amongst the Burton three-quarters was to be a feature of the game and cost Burton several missed opportunities.
From the resulting scrum the Burton pack showed their intent with their first massive forward shove, that was to become common place at future set pieces, and as Camp Hill struggled to cope they were penalised. Darryl Banton made no mistake with the penalty kick from twelve metres out and Burton had a 3-0 lead after just five minutes play. Unfortunately the kicker could not repeat the feet minutes later when an attempt from a similar distance but in front of the posts barely scraped under the crossbar.
For the next fifteen minutes a series of good solid runs by Banton, Neethling, Rob Wakelin and John Drage kept Burton camped in the visitor's twenty-two. But once again despite total forward control Burton's tactics of forcing play up the middle could not gain any penetration as the Camp Hill defence repelled every attempted break. After surviving this pressure Camp Hill kicked clear and got into Burton's half and illegal use of the shoulder in the tackle saw their full back Ian Briggs step up to land the first of three successful penalties to level the scores at 3=3.
This started a seven-minute spell that saw Burton score two tries and a conversion around his other two penalties. First Lewis Brooks broke clear and when half-tackled passed the ball to Archer who raced in for a try. Burton were then penalised for holding on and Briggs landed his second kick. Then a scrum on the opposition twenty-two saw Craig Dutton take full use of his packs domination as he picked-up and strolled over from twenty-metres to score under the posts and Banton converted. But yet again having just scored Burton were penalised, this time for crossing, and Briggs landed his third kick to take the score to 15-9. Fortunately this frantic scoring spell saw the end of Camp Hill scoring and although ripping through Burton's midfield defence on three or four occasions they never again threatened the Burton line.
Burton, however, were not done and more tremendous forward pressure saw the visitors continually cringing whenever the referee's whistle was heard as their scrum knew it meant another minute of torment from the marauding Burton front five. Banton added a further try as he swooped round the base of one of the retreating scrums to pounce on the loose ball. Joe Carpenter rounded of a superb first half display s he stormed clear of a ruck to fend of would-be tacklers and drive towards the line before one last stretch got him over the line for a try to round off Burton's first half efforts. Although both conversions were missed Burton headed into the break with a 25-9 lead.
The second half started with the Camp Hill centre Simon Edwards slicing through the home defence to race forty-metres before being stopped with a superb tackle by John Philliskirk. Burton recovered to mount a counter attack but on two occasions failure to feed the ball on saw moves fail and leave outside players frustrated. Good surging forward runs by Wakelin, Dutton and Josh Cartwright took play deep into the opposition twenty-two and saw the visitors concede a penalty. Burton opted for a scrum and again drove Camp Hill backward for Banton to spin the ball out wide and Archer dived over into the corner for his second try of the day.
Leading 30-9 Burton rang the changes by replacing John Drage with Dan Eastwood and Joe Carpenter with Steve Cross, while Lawrence Betty's appearance saw a reshuffle in the backs with Tom Bartram replacing Luke Peach at out-half for Betty to play in the centre. With the backs still readjusting the restart again saw Camp Hill break through the Burton midfield and make fifty metres before yet another Philliskirk tackle stopped the move. The visitors quickly recycled the ball and broke clear only for Philliskirk to again halt the move with another superb tackle.
Burton then set up an attacking move that saw the same player burst into the line but his loose pass rebounded into the welcoming hands of Lawrence Betty. The big, burly centre didn't need a second invitation and stormed over the line to open his first team account as he touched down for a try under the posts. Archer made no mistake with the conversion to add the extra two points. Another fifteen minute spell of total domination but no points followed as Burton's handling again let them down with poor passes or final passes going direct to opposition players. Despite all this erratic handling Burton were in total control, as their pack continued to supply set piece ball at will. Then another great scrummage saw Banton again pounce on a loose ball at the back of Camp Hill's reeling pack to score his second try and Archer again converted to give Burton a 44-9 advantage.
Two tries in the last five minutes rounded off Burton efforts the first coming from another pick-up by Dutton from the base of the scrum to see him cover the two metres to the line to ground the ball for his second try of the day. But Archer's kick hit both uprights and still failed to get over the crossbar. Then a superb piece of inter-passing by Burton's all conquering forwards saw the ball moved amongst several pairs of hands including Neething, Cartwright, Cross, Dutton and Hooper before Simon Spencer unselfishly fed the ball back inside to his skipper Tom Bartram. He took the pass and fell over the line to claim the try and round off Burton's scoring at 54-9.
