Leos brought a big pack but left their front row at home so uncontested scrums for the second week. A few late cry offs and no shows left the Bees running out with just 15 players.
A huge storm just before kick off blew its-self out just in time but left the pitch sodden. Bees played with the wind first half but failed to take their chances and one try from Nick Gore was cancelled out by Leos after a series of penalties took them past the Bees 22m for the first time. 5:5 at half time and Bees down to 14 players after Zee damaged both his ankles.
Leo's ran out for the second half full of confidence and were soon 12:5 ahead. Matter were now made worse after Brookie was injured and Bees were down to 13 men playing into some aweful weather. Good job no one told the Bees that the game was lost!
Two tries more tries from Nick completed his hat trick and another from Daryl put the Bees 12 points ahead 24:12 with 15 minutes to go. This phase of the game was now all down to desperate defense which held until a loose ball was picked up and put down under the posts with 7 minutes still left. 19:24. Crotchy was now also injured but played on and with the other 12 held out against a tiring Leos.
Phew ... No game next week so well deserved week off for injured and knackered both
