Berry Hill hosted Matson in the second game of their county cup pool stages. With Matson fielding a full squad it was always going to be a tough fixtures but Hill started well and put the visitors under pressure. They had the chance to take the lead with a well positioned penalty but the kick missed the mark causing Hill to become unsettled and rush at their game plan. Errors started to creep into their play and Matson seized quickly on these opportunities to put themselves 2 tries ahead. The home team did have a few chances but last minute mistakes prevented them from scoring. Matson now playing with confidence scored once more in the last minute before the break after some great defending from Hill in their 22 to see them go in 19 points ahead.
A strong team talk at half time saw Hill start will more determination resulting in a long period with no change to the score line. Matson didn’t however go over 2 more times the last one in the last play before the final whistle. Hill can take a lot from the game but need to improve in certain areas when faced with strong opposition in high pressure matches.
