Gravesend RFC v Hertford RFC result

Post by Andy B »

This week Hertford travel to Essex for their away game with Gravesend RFC. Gravesend are currently three places and ten points below Hertford who are in sixth place. Gravesend's points difference is virtually the opposite of Hertford's who have +42 and Gravesend -49 so the game points in Hertford's favour but as we know statistics do not always work out the way they should.

Kickoff 3 pm.

The away game this week had the worst possible start with a missed penalty and Gravesend replying immediately with a converted try for a 7 - 0 lead, after three more penalties two for Hertford and one for Gravesend half time came up with a 10 - 6 lead for the home side. The second half saw a different side return to the pitch with Hertford not only taking the lead but stretching it out to 27 - 10 before Gravesend replied with a converted try with ten minutes to go but the impressively consistent Hertford held on to finish 27 - 17 winners to add to their current form. Hertford now rise to sixth in the league and have to same two to one win ratio as the tree teams immediately above them.
