Epping 2s 73 - Writtle 2s 0

They seek him here, they seek him there but forget seeking him prior to kick off..no chance
With results being updated on Pitchero during the last week Epping found that they had moved from top to third place in the league but with games in hand the title still sits in there hands.
With home pitches again unplayable this match was switched to Writtle on the Thursday and unlike Basildon, Epping managed to arrive with a full team....and even a sub or two.
As the score suggests Clapton were always in control of this match with tries coming from: Gunnell x 2, Dobbin x 2, Rogers x 2, Roberts x 2, Renolds, Douglass, and most poplular score of the day Ben Prior, playing in his first ever 2nd team game. George converted all but two of the tries
A big thank you goes out to Big John from Writtle for his efforts in ensuring that this fixture went ahead as he had struggled all week to put a side together.
For Clapton a home match against Romford and then away to Southend will complete there league fixtures for the season. Both difficult matches that unless the team go into each at full strengh will struggle.
Finally the MOM went to Ben Prior who looked more than at home in this game. The future looks bright for this teenager
