A hard fought match against a Thurrock team brimming with confidence. With EM missing a number of forwards , Ethan , who usually plays in the backs, started in the second row. Though thurrock lost a player to the sin bin in the first half,Thurrock played some good running rugby to be up 14-0 at half time. EmThurrock were dominant in the line out and eventually scored a converted try early in the second half from a line out throw 5 m from the EM line . This was repeated again towards the end of the game. Sandwiched between these to scores was a Will Fitch try , he recieved a good pass on the half way, beat 3-4 defenders to race under the posts.
