Oaks travelled to Medway in a friendly match and started brightly to score under the posts within 5 minutes. The game then slowly swung in the favour of the hosts as Oaks dropped off in terms of their defensive shape and conceded a string of offside penalties. By HT, Medway were 26-14 up with Oaks struggling to deal with the larger opposition. The second half saw a massive turnaround. Oaks corrected all their issues and pinned down Medway for almost the entire half and were rewarded with 2 tries, the last one a well worked move by the forwards which was duly converted to put Oaks in the lead with just a few minutes remaining. Oaks won 28-26
