Stowmarket 29, Holt 10

HOLT travelled to Stowmarket in the third round of the RFU Junior Vase, hoping to put to rights the performance they gave there last season in the league.

Stowmarket were currently enjoying a good run in the league, lying second.

Holt played against the wind in the first half and at half-time were trailing 17-0.

Holt made their mark on the game and reduced the arrears to 17-10 through two tries by Woods, but they leaked another 12 points before the end.

With this cup defeat Holt can now concentrate on their league programme and on Saturday are away to Ely, who were promoted at the end of last season.

Currently they are below Holt in the table in 10th position, with one win out of seven.

Holt will certainly want to erase the memory of their showing there two seasons ago, when they presented Ely with their only league win of the season.
