Today the colts played host to Luctonians in the North Mids Cup and suffered their first defeat of the season, crashing out in the 1st round. The last game they played was against Lucts in the league on 6th December where they won 44-12. Lack of game time and training due to the weather did not help matters but Luctonians played the better rugby today and deserved their win.

Lucts got off to a good start and scored 2 tries in the first 10 minutes, 1 converted, to take a 0-12 lead. Kidderminster then started to get some ball and with a penalty kicked to the corner got a lineout drive going. Lucts infringed as David Kane was going over at the back and the penalty try was given. Sam Faulkner converted. Kidderminster then made a series of errors which Lucts were happy to pounce on and score 2 further tries before Kidderminster got another lineout drive going with Harvey Kelsall at the back taking the ball over this time. Lucts pounced on another error just before the half time whistle and went in under the posts to take a 12-31 lead into half time.

There was no further score in the second half but Kidderminster did improve on their first half performance. They put Lucts under pressure for most of the half but a resolute defence from Lucts and poor decisions and handling from Kidderminster kept the score as it was. Final score 12-31.

Lucts did play well today and came out with belief from the whistle. We wish them well for the rest of the season in the North Mids and National Cup. Kidderminster seemed lethargic at times and probably made more errors today than they have for the rest of the season. Hopefully the rain will stop and they can get back to regular training before their league game against Hereford next week and the National Cup game the week after.

See you all Tuesday.
