TUPTON RUFV V DRONFIELD

A brief one from Tupton Rugby Union Club this time around on a cloudy and cooler day after last weeks hot one.

Tupton stormed to a 19-0 lead courtesy of three tries of which two were converted, their dominance fell away a little while Dronfield had a stronger fifteen minutes that saw them pull back three points from a penalty.

Tupton got back into gear with a further try and conversion before being reduced to 14 with a sending off just before the break but lead 26-3.

The reduction of number had little effect as the home side continued to dominate with three more tries and bringing the score line to 45-3 before Dronfield scored a determined try thro the posts to bring the final score to 45-10.

A change of an afternoon for one of the couple of Rugby Union trips that normally encompass a season.
