Boulton’s try secures draw for Foresters

THE first-ever meeting between these two teams ended with honours even at the Ferens Ground with Cinderford scoring a lastgasp try to snatch a 30-30 National League One draw at Hull.

Hull were looking for a first victory in National One going into the match and they showed enough spirit and enterprise in their play throughout to give them plenty of encouragement.

Hull were quickly into their stride with Reece Dunn going over in the corner before converting a second try from Dan Evans to make it 12-0 after ten minutes of play.

Cinderford responded well to draw level with Will Gilderson and Morgan Adderly-jones scoring tries, with Mike Austin adding one conversion.

Just before half-time Keane Naylor scored a try for Hull, which Dean converted to give his side the lead at the interval.

The scores were level again soon after the restart when Harry Hone forced his way over, with Austin adding the conversion and then a penalty soon afterwards to put Cinderford ahead for the first time.

Back came Hull however with Sam Robson scoring their fourth try, before Austin and Dean exchanged penalties.

A second penalty from Dean looked as though it would earn Hull a muchneeded victory, but Cinderford piled on the pressure in the closing stages to enable George Boulton to score a try, which went unconverted.
