    Match Report

    The 2nds need to win to keep in touch with the top four. They start playing against the wind and made a solid start. They were able to apply pressure to Box Hill by being able to retain the ball and making minimial errors on attack and being able to get of the line in defence. This allowed them to score two tries in the first half to Bivek Inderjeeth and Osea Valentini, however a try to Box Hill keeped them in touch with the score being 15 - 5  since one try was converted Chris King who also added a penalty.

    The game remained even in the second half until finally the Harlequins were able to turn the pressure into points and with some crowd pleasing rugby were able to score tries to Gareth Forde, Matt Blair, Caleb Mc Elhinney, Michael Rabach and another to Inderjeeth. King added another 2 conversions. Box Hill managed to score another try but Harlequins were always in control winning 44 -10. This win will give Harlequins some confidence going into the second round.
