Hinckley travelled to South Leicesters Welford Road ground for round 25. A number of changes were made after last weeks defeat to Tynedale - Luke Coltman returned at hooked after a one match ban and Matthew Fearn returned to the second row whilst Glen Murray started in the midfield. At scrum half Michael Morris was brought in from the University of Nottingham to cover scrum half due to injuries to Glover and Crocker

Hinckley started the game in the best possible way, with a well timed midfield tackle from Mitch Culpin leaving a loose ball and which Mitch Lamb picked up to run 50 metres to score. Conor Buillivant converted.

Throughout the game Hinckleys issue was the penalty count which ended up being strongly in favour of the home side. On another day there may have been a yellow card in the first half but back chat on 3 occasions from the home side let to them seeing a yellow card and their only points of the half being two Ricky Aley penalties. Hinckley however did go in 12-6 up when probably their best attacking move of the game finished with Lamb handing off two players for his second try.

The second half didn't start well with a yellow card finally coming out, delivered to Matt Fearn which gave Aley the opportunity to make the score 12-9. Buillivant soon neutralised this however with a penalty of his own. However the game then turned in just a few minutes with two South tries - one a very well taken effort and the other a fluke.

The well taken effort came from a counter attack Down the left hand touchline when the ball went through a number of pairs of South hands. The fluke came when Aley produced probably one of the worst drop goal efforts of his career, with the ball going closer to the touchline than the posts. However Blane Howe followed up from wide out to hack on and score. Aley converted both tries.

Hinckley had a chance for a point when Buillivant pushed a penalty wide with 10 minutes to go, and 23-15 is how the score remained.

The next fixtures is Luctonians at home in two weeks.
