Burton Cobras put in one of the best performances of the season to win the Plate Competition at last Sunday's County Festival in Stafford.

Burton's Cobras had won against Wolverhampton (15-10), Barbarians (20-10), Lichfield (35-0) and drawn against Leek (5-5) but, in the final match, needed to beat a good and unbeaten Stafford team. Stafford put pressure on the Cobras from the beginning and although they came close to scoring a number of times, dogged defending from Burton prevented them from getting the ball down. Burton, on the other hand, made the most of their breaks scoring three tries. Stafford managed a late try but victory went to Burton, final score ( 15-5).

Every member of the squad should be proud of their performance on Sunday - a real team effort.

Try scorers: Jacob Baker 7, Sam Wagstaffe 6, Reuben Marchant 3, Matthew Holmes, Lewis Deighton.

Burton's Barbarians found themselves in a tough group in the Cup Competition and lost to Wolverhampton, Lichfield and Stafford. They did, however, engineer a very good win against Barton (15-10), playing some good, fluid rugby; this was particularly pleasing as Barton has beaten us well earlier in the season. Well done Barbarians.

Try scorers: Owen Raw, Theo Ellison, Phillipe Moreau.
