Midlands 2 East (S): Luton 20 - 33 Oundle

The Newlands side started strong after bull back Aiden Kenny opened the scoring with a penalty kick against the team who are currently second in the division.

Then fly half Rik Hobbs broke through a weak Oundle defense and passed to Chris Davies on the touch line to score a sensational try, taking the Newland side into an early eight point lead.

However, Oundle took full advantage of Luton's indiscipline and added two penalties before taking the lead with a well worked try. Kenny brought Luton back into the game scoring a try and adding a conversion, but the visitors came back with a converted try to take a well deserved 15-20 lead into the break.

And it was the visitors who looked sharpest after the restarted as they scored another penalty to increase their advantage over the hosts.

Again Luton showed character as quick play by Luton saw Denzel Edwards cross in the corner to reduce the deficit to three points. And for a moment the game was in the balance as Luton looked to win their first match in five weeks.

However, Oundle side held firm which meant that the hosts' hopes of victory were quickly evaporated as the clock continued to tick down.

The away side dominated the rest of the game and added a penalty and converted try to seal a convincing 20-33 victory. Defeated was compounded by the sight of fly half Hobbs leaving the field with what looked like a broken collar bone.

Luton's fourth loss in a row left the players, coaches and supporters alike scratching their heads as they tried to figure out what's going on after a five win streak at the start of the season.

The team who now find themselves seventh in the league, now travel away to league leaders Peterborough in a fortnight, as hopes of promotion recede for a team who suffered relegation last season.
