Hinckley Defeat Hosts

The final match of the day saw Hinckley up against the hosts, who'd had the pleasure of playing all their matches and were also unbeaten with three wins, this meant with Hinckley only being rewarded the points from the Derby game, try difference was in Loughborough's favour. But only a win was on Hinckley's minds, and a titanic battle of the forwards followed in what know was an absolute mud bath, but neither side managed to score ending the first half, Hinckley 0pts Loughborough 0pts.
The second half once again saw both teams giving nothing away, great defence from Nixon, Wass, Webb, and tenacious running once again from Long, finally paid off when Sharkey broke through to score, ending the match Hinckley 5pts Loughborough 0pts.

A nail biting wait followed with both teams on 6pts, and try difference also the same off +7, it was Hinckley who were crowned Champions with scoring 9 tries to Loughborough's 8, this was an excellent achievement from the Hinckley lads who only had tries counting from three games opposed to Loughborough's four, so a well deserved Festival win for the Hinckley pack.
