A big crowd turned out to watch our game against Barnard Castle, and neither side disappointed. Barnard Castle started with hard hitting backs play from the kickoff pushing us back with a stint of quick offloads.
QE soon came back however with expansive play out to the wing building pressure in Barnard's 22 where we were camped for some time.
Then after a quick succession of penalties Jamie Richardson score between posts, with Ollie Cooper converted.
Soon after this the Barnard Castle 10 was yellow carded just before half time.

With the kick off Barnard Castle came back with more offload play and caused numerous penalties for QE until we regained possession off a scrum. From the play that that followed Joss Mercer came out with a huge run down the majority of the pitch which lead to Jamie's second try - not converted.
However Barnard Castle soon retaliated with an unconverted try of their own.
Barnard Castle kept this up with another unconverted try.
This didn't deter us though as determination lead to Joss surging through the line to score the third which was converted.
In the last minute the BC 12 broke through a couple of tackles to score an unconverted try at the side of the pitch.
Ft QE 19 BC 10 or 15
It was a very hard, fast and well played game with a very good result for us showing the rest of league what we can really do. Well done lads.
