Roads were first to be on the scoreboard
going ahead 3 - 0 with a field goal after
Douglas had slowly been pushed back as a result
of being penalizea far too often for various
infractions.

In the second half Kirby broke from a loose
scrum with the ball, and set up a perfect pass
for Jagger who bounded through the snowdrifts
to score and give Nouglas a 4 - 3 lead. But
Roads came right back slipping and sliding
down to the Douglas try-line to score giving
them a 7 - 4 lead. With only minutes remaining
in the game, Douglas launched an all out
offensive. Eighth man Phil Sharpe made some
well placed kicks to give Douglas good field
position. With 10 seconds left in the match
Jagger received the ball from a set scrun,
and kicke: ahead. A Foads players attempting
to field the ball on own goal line fumbled
it. Jagger who meanwhile was following up
his kick pounced on the fumbled ball and dived
ever to score and give )ouglas an exciting
victory.
