Ongar end the season with their heads held high
5:43pm Thursday 17th April 2008
Ongar 12
Runwell Wyverns 22
(Essex Three)
ONGAR produced one of their best performances of the season to run league leaders Runwell close at Love Lane.
After a tight first half, the runaway Essex Three champions, who have remained unbeaten this season, could only take a narrow 3-0 lead into the break.
On the resumption the Wywerns scored two tries, one of which was converted.
Ongar finally found a way through with skipper Dave Blake once again adding the final touch. Somehow John Browning missed the extras and a misunderstanding at the kick-off allowed Runwell in for a converted try.
The hosts refused to give up and five minutes from time Browning made amends when he was pushed over from a scrum eight metres out. Steve Everson kicked an excellent conversion.
