However, Friends kicked off the comeback shortly before the break.

Excellent work by prop Cameron Loan saw the ball delivered to the hands of out half Reece Malone who chipped a clever kick through to outside centre Stuart Patterson to score in the corner.

Following the half time interval, Friends’ got themselves within touching distance as great work by the pack allowed scrum half Harry Reid to deliver the ball to Reece Malone, who ghosted past a number of defenders to make it 10-11.

With ten minutes remaining the comeback was complete.

FSL’s front eight began to pile the pressure on the opposition and this eventually led to Number Eight, Sam Greer breaking from the back of a ruck to score in the corner, making the score 15-11.
