Oaks entertained Canterbury in a rearranged Kent Cup group match on a heavy pitch. From the off it was a close encounter with both teams defending very well and neither team making much ground. Oaks then struck first after 17 minutes of deadlock when they reacted first to a botched lineout to power through the melee. The visitors hit back after they sucked in the defence and then used the space on the outside to score a converted try. After the break, Oaks went back into the lead after a deft kick through was picked up and dotted down. With the game swinging back and forth it was Canterbury who regained the lead, powering over from close range and then scored another in a similar fashion. Final score 10-17 to the visitors. Credit to both teams for a huge effort in difficult conditions and yet still played some decent rugby.
