Oaks hosted Folkestone in the first round of Kent Cup group matches. The first 15 minutes saw the visitors put on all sorts of pressure but the Oaks held out and slotted over a penalty in one of their rare periods of play in the Folkestone half. The visitors hit back and took advantage of a loose defence to score the first try of the match under the posts, duly converted. Oaks then began to rectify their poor rucking and scrums to slowly turn the tide and take the game on the front foot, resulting in 2 tries before the break to lead 17-7 at HT. The second half saw Oaks starting to dominate play in all areas and scored 2 more well worked tries to pretty much put the game to bed. However, credit to the visitors who did not give up and with Oaks having to make several changes and down to 14 players, Folkestone scored 2 tries in the last 10 minutes. But the game was over with Oaks winning 31-19
