With regional trials illness and injuries Hill were forced to draft in several players from the lower age group for their travels to Cheltenham to play Old Pats. The hybrid team however started well and were soon ahead with a penalty from Ryan Dawson. They then had several chances to set their mark on the game but last minute errors saw the opportunities drift away into the fog. Frustration started to set in after infringements caused the game to become disjointed and the play rarely getting pass the first phase before the whistle was blown. Hill did mange to score just before the break with a powerful run from Tom Burford which burst through the Old Pats defence putting them 10 -3 ahead. On the restart the game resumed it's stuttering format, Hill's frustration grew resulting in a sending off and the 14 players soon became 13 when William Tyler was injured with no substitutes left. With several other players struggling with knocks they held on to the final minute of play when Old Pats touched down in the corner to take the victory. With the Christmas break shortly upon us Hill should have time to get their team back to full fitness ready for the county cup.
