The 1st XV's last visit to Hartree MIll was a nail biter played in challenging weather conditions - very heavy rain and strong wind.. As the match entered it's final play Biggar led 16 - 14. As Marr pressed towards the line the home side was penalised. Rory McGee nailed the kick from the corner to bring the match to an finish with at 16 - 17 win.

We expect the home side and support to be well fired up and determined to make amends for this result. The home support is particularly vocal so we hope to see good numbers of the Purple and Gold army down on the touchline and getting behind the team.
