An exciting game between the leagues top to sides ended with the spoils of victory going to the visitors from Coventry.
In a match packed with crunching tackles and attacking open play the visitors were rewarded with a victory that now places them at the top of Midlands 1.
The match kicked off on a slippery surface with several players failing to stay on their feet. Broadstreet had much of the early pressure but were foiled by some excellent homeside defence. This was finally undone on 14 minutes by fly half Dan Richards whose penalty kick for offside sailed over the posts to put the visitors 3-0 ahead. The lead was short lived however a couple of minutes later as Broadstreet were down to 14 men with Simon Morris in the bin for allegedly tripping an opponent. The homeside took full advantage and regained some of the territory to put Broadstreet under some pressure. Luctonians 17 year old fly half playing his first senior game missed with his first penalty attempt but was on target with his second attempt on 17 minutes.3-3
Richards was again on target after 30 minutes with an excellent penalty kick to put the visitors ahead for the second time only to be cancelled out with the last kick of the first half which levelled the scores at half time 6-6
This was just the build up for an exciting second half and the Streets lead was increased after 10 minutes by Dan Richards adding his third penalty of the afternoon.6-9 Broadstreet were now just starting to edge the territory battle and were putting the homeside under a little pressure only to be pegged back by some excellent breakout play by Luctonians exciting backline. Street found themselves in the opposition 22 with 25 minutes of the second half gone and after a series of plays close to the line, Simon Morris squeezed over to increase the visitors score. Dan Richards uncharacteristically missed the conversion.6-14
This lead to a frenetic last 10 minutes with the home side now starting to pile on the pressure as they required two scores to win the game. They mounted wave after wave of attacks only to be repelled with some excellent tackling.
With only 2 minutes left on the clock Street skipper Eddie Simkiss was sent to the bin for not rolling away from the tackle on the street line. Street could not keep the homeside out and with the last play of the game they crashed over the line and added the conversion with the last kick of the game.
