Despite a very Gallant effort from Fevnet they succombed to a much stronger and fitter Easts side which comprised of 6 summer conference players and 5 CMS Yorkshire league players.
The writing was on the wall for the first quater after only couple of mins when easts worked the ball very well catching Rovers out with a good switch in play to score the first of the day. That though seemed to be the wake up call rovers needed, strong running from forwards Chris Mitchell, Kev Tonks, Danny Kelleher and David Rush set the platform for rovers to finish the quater with the scores at 4-2 to Easts.
But the second quater saw Rovers outplayed and Easts started to rule the roost despite the efforts of the whole Rovers team especially Chris Taylor, Simon Vickers and Danny Jones. Easts scored succesive tries which saw the half time score at 4-9 to Easts.
The third quater though was a different ball game all together as Rovers took the initiative and mounted an outstanding comeback, Easts scored first but quick thinking from Taylor score the best try of the day when he took the tap off quickly to himself and went the full length of the field to score, and Rovers never looked back vickers, Tonks, Kelleher and Jones going over to see the score at the end of the third only 8-10 to Easts, Rovers Could have had another score but for the second game running Mitchell had a try dissallowed, leading him to believe his team mates are paying refs to not let him score.
The last quater saw the Costcutter Cup slip away and the difference in fitness was telling in a big way and Easts ran in 4 easy tries to run out 8-14 winners. Best for Rovers were Taylor, Vickers, Mitchell, and Kelleher, though the whole team was outstanding and can be proud of their effort.
