Dunstablians defeated despite dominating

The hosts started well, with unconverted try after just two minutes, following a catch and drive.

Dees responded strongly as fly-half Peter Thompson kicked a drop goal and then added a penalty to put his side 6-5 in front.

A soft try saw Oadby back in front by the break, but in the second period, Dees regained the initiative as Alex Ayres bundled over and Thompson’s boot made it 13-10.

Oadby stepped up a gear though as a penalty levelled the scores, before they managed to converted tries to seal victory.

This Saturday Dees host Olney.
