Following the successes of the past month or so, the Norfolk were confident going into the game against Sussex Police at Brighton, despite them being a team that in recent years we always seem to struggle against.

As usual, the Norfolk were quickly out of the blocks and the play was lively from the off. The Police missed a penalty after 4 minutes and it was not until the 14th minute when Bavers crashed over for his first of the season. Toby kicked the conversion wide.

The game was fairly equal for the duration, and both teams looked like they may score when they had the ball, but it was Sussex Police who were to take the plaudits for the first half, running in two tries, one on 32 minutes and the next right on the stroke of half time. One was converted. (12-5 HT)

The Norfolk continued to plug away at the police from the off in the second half. After 10 minutes, Jez scored from close range, his first in his first game this season. The conversion was unsuccessful. The Norfolk piled on the pressure, but it was not happening this week and despite herculean effort, the polioce ran in another try mid way through the half. It was converted.

The Norfolk threw everything at the police, but were uable to turn the pressure into points. FINAL SCORE: 19-10
