Oaks hosted Bromley in a friendly match designed to test the whole squad. The visitors started the brighter and exploited gaps in the Oaks defence, scoring a try to take the lead after the home side had edged in front with a penalty. Oaks then began to take more control and after a knock into the corner, executed the perfect lineout to score from a driving maul and led at the break 10-7. Oaks dominated the second half but poor decision making and poor execution meant they could not kill the game off. This proved costly as Bromley took a quick penalty just in the Oaks half to catch the hosts napping and score in the corner to win 12-10
