Late call sees Stockwood Park downed by Daventry
Midlands Three East South: Daventry 41 Stockwood Park 22.
Stockwood Park went down 41-22 to Daventry on Saturday in a hard-fought game that leaves the Luton side fourth in Midlands Three East South.
Chairman Jason Carr said: “The effort levels were immense today and we were unlucky not to snatch it.
“We were camped on their line and a refereeing decision went against us resulting in them breaking away and killing the game off.”
Daventry took advantage of the conditions in the first half to lead 15-3 at the break, James Hankey registering Park’s only points of the half with a penalty.
Stockwood were stronger in the second half and scored tries through Casimir Abaka, Tom Edmunds and Rob Hartley, two converted by Hankey.
Park went close to getting back into the game when they were camped on the opposition line only to have a try disallowed.
This weekend Park head to St Ives (Midlands).
