Fakenham 7, Holt 23

Holt recorded their first win at Fakenham's rugby ground to complete the double over their neighbours in Eastern Counties One.

The visitors took control after falling behind to an interception try in the first 10 minutes which was converted. Fakenham's side looked promising. Every player looked confident, tackling properly and initially not giving away penalties.

Two Allen penalties narrowed the gap and then a driving maul saw Child score one of his typical tries from the base of an ensuing scrum. Allen converted to make it 13-7 at half-time.

Fakenham's play had to change to see a win. Second half Holt stretched their lead when a penalty was taken quickly and Robson finished off the move and, with five minutes left, Robson sped down the wing to score (unconverted).

Fakenham's defence made it difficult for Holt to get through and a compelling display from both sets of supporters made it an exciting game.

On Saturday Fakenham first team entertain table-toppers Newmarket, kick-off 2.30pm.
