Great local Derby day.

Derby 50-40 Burton

Burton started well against a fast paced Derby side, and despite the long lay off showed some good running and support play skills, however there defence seemed to have suffered through lack of training. Burton quickly pulled 2 tries ahead but allowed Derby to pull level and steal the lead, the game was nip and tuck all the way but Derby proved too strong in the end. Dominic Sturman(2), Ben Mumford(3), Charlie Spendlove(2) and Owen Jones were Burtons scorers.

Derby 45-45 Burton

Burton started the second game well, in a game that saw Burton retain possesion with some good support play, however the Crofters defence allowed Derby to stay close and snatch an equaliser at the death. Burton's try scorers were James Summers(3), Thomas Harrison(4) and Matthew Lumby (2).

Derby 15-50 Burton

After some harsh words from the coaches the young Crofters came out fired up for the final game, again the attacking play was impressive, but this time the defence was water tight, which forced plenty of turnover ball, a determined Burton took it to Derby in one of there best performances of the season. Tries for Thomas Harrison, Ben Mumford(2), Marcus Tolley(2), Dominic Sturman, Ben Blackham(2) and Charlie Spendlove (2).
2 average games by Burtons standards followed by an awesome well rounded performance, well played lads.
