Oaks welcomed Blackheath, current Kent Champions for the Kent Cup quarter finals. The match began in a fierce manner with both teams fighting for possession in difficult conditions, play being restricted to the middle of the pitch. The visitors eventually broke the deadlock with a rolling maul and resulting break down the wing. They then added another shortly afterwards after intercepting a loose pass. Sevenoaks were up for the battle and began to exert more pressure resulting in a clever cross field kick to let the Oaks winger in for a deserved try. The score at HT was 5-12 and all to play for. The second half was equally combative with defences standing strong but it was the visitors again who struck next with 2 tries in 10 minutes, clinically working overlaps. Sevenoaks came back at them fighting hard and again had plenty of possession and territory. Unfortunately, they could not convert this into points as the Blackheath defence stood firm. The final score was 5-24 but the score did not reflect a much closer match with 2 teams giving everything in a very entertaining contest that could have gone either way at one point. Well done to Oaks for a very decent display.
