Good work from Andy Kelly leads to a try, easily converted by Alex Gannon bringing the score to 7:3. Vale of Lune soon bring the score back to 7:6 with another penalty but Orrell immediately respond with a try from Dane Barry and another conversion from Alex Gannon, leaving the score 14:6.

Minutes later John Dickinson crosses the line for a try but the conversion was missed when the ball fell off the kicking tee.

Orrell start the second half in the lead and some good rugby from the forwards allows Dante Morley-Samuels to try and Connor Farrimond to convert; making the score 26:6.
Coach Matty Stafford crossed the line for his first score of the season and again this was converted by Connor Farrimond. The score was now 33:6.

Vale of Lune manage to score a try but missed the conversion, leaving the score at 33:11. Some great rugby was followed by a try from Connor Farrimond & converted by Alex Gannon making the score 47:11.
