Melbourne 22 - 7 Coalville

Melbourne started with a charge down and a Try fro Dan Walker in the first minute. Converted by Euan Holden.

Jack Pearce scythed through the midfield and passed to Tom Lowery (when he could probably have scored himself) but the pass did not stick.

Olly Page scored from a drive off a lineout. Euans conversion hitting the post

Euan slotted a penalty on half time for a 15-0 lead.

Coalville cam back strongly in the second half but Melbourne defence good.

A neat box kick fro Pagey saw Ash Stringer steal the ball in the tackle off the winger and run in from 60 metres. Euan converted.

Coalville scored from a tap penalty after sustained pressure.

Euan saw yellow on full time for asking the referee if he saw the blatant punch to his face (bit confusing that as Punch = RED card under NLDRFURS directives this year).

Final score 22-7
