The Biggy pack ruled the roost all afternoon, shoving back the scrum and driving over for two tries. The Biggleswade three-quarters were stronger in defence and quicker around the park especially on the wings.

In front of a large crowd, Biggleswade put on a good show to honour the memory of club stalwart Richard Phipps who died earlier in the year.
