Last kick of the game win for Fullers

Evans kicks Fullers to win back to back for the first time since the opening two games of the season!

Fullerians made it two from two in a gripping game with Beaconsfield who were stunned at the death by a sublime Dan Evans penalty to steal the game.

Fullers, fresh on the back of last weeks 5 try win over Windsor, bounced into this week with a spring in their step but knew Beaconsfield would be no push over having drawn earlier in the season 27-27.
The visitors got out of the blocks first with some good work in the line out 5 metres out, a nice catch and short drive allowed the back row 7 to pop out of the maul to dance around two defenders and score in the corner, the conversion was dispatched well.

Long serving fly half Dan Evans slotted 3 excellent penalties allowing Fullers to go into the break with a narrow lead following a good close battle between the sides who both knew a win could change the course of their season and push away from the relegation zone.

Shortly into the second half Fullers found themselves deep in Beaconsfield territory and an excellent line out and drive pushed Beaconsfield back and Kane OShea darted though to within a metre of the line before skipper Ben Matchett found centre Shaun Smith in space and he crashed over from 6 metres out, on form Evans added the extras.

Beaconsfield slotted a penalty some 12 minutes from time to close the gap again before deservingly taking the lead with some excellent pressure and they scored in the corner and an excellent conversion followed to lead by a point with two minutes to go.

Straight from the kick off Beaconsfield knocked on giving Fullers the put in at the scrum and a lovely drive in on the second attempt the referee judged another infringement from their front row and awarded a penalty, Evans had the last say of the day with a sublimely slotted kick as the clock struck 80 minutes and the referee blew for full time.

Full Time 19-17
