PERCY PARK 13 - 5 BRADFORD SALEM

Park move on to the semi final stage of the EDF Energy Senior Vase after winning against a formidable Bradford Salem team, and all talk of a possible final at the home of English Rugby is banned until after the semi final on 21st March.

Both sides scored one try each, but it was the kicking of full back Marcus Rutter and the awesome defence, that was the difference on the day.The semi final draw is made on Tuesday and now goes national, so let's hope for a home tie. The sides left in are Berry Hill (Gloucester),Cullompton (Devon), and Tyledsley who are currently lying second in North Lancs and Cumbria.

Northampton Old Scouts 21 – 30 Percy Park

This sixth round match of the EDF Energy Senior Vase finally took place on the third time of asking, after the snow and ice put paid to the first two attempts in previous weeks. Park made the decision to travel in the morning of the game, and normally when teams travel such long distances, they are still mentally “on the bus” for the first ten minutes of the game; not so Park, who started with a bang and a try from Ali Blair inside 5 minutes.

Northern 8 - 25 Percy Park

Park extinguished Northern hopes for a play off place in this the third encounter between the two sides in season 2008/9. Before the game the home side were confident of upsetting Park’s promotion progress with a strengthened side, but the visitors showed greater forward determination in the set piece, particularly in the scrum, and an early Ali Blair try set the tone for the rest of the game.
