Oaks travelled to Old Dunstonians in the host’s first ever home match as a newly formed team. In a tight opening, it was the home team that edged ahead with a penalty after 5 minutes. Oaks were being punished several times for scrum indiscipline and struggled to get a hold in the game as both teams defended stoutly in midfield. As the half wore on, Oaks did begin to exert more pressure and were duly rewarded with a well worked try; switching the play to find space in the wide areas. With a converted penalty, Oaks were leading at half time 8-3. After the break, Oaks began to control the game; much more disciplined in the scrum, faster line speed and winning the breakdown. Two trys followed, 1 converted and there was daylight opening up. The hosts were rattled, losing 2 players to the sin bin and Oaks exploited the numbers from the resulting penalty with a fine kick pass to the wing to score another try. Old Dunstonians did not give up though and scored a consolation try at the end but the match was over with Oaks winning 25-8.
