This stern test proved a positive step for five Ravens’ first team players coming back from injury as the club now looks forward to the start of the play off campaign in two weeks.

The Kent side raced into a early lead when experience seemed to shine through as loose forward Joe Oxford run through the university defence to add the first points of the match, but it was a bad injury to Oxford just two minutes later that swung the momentum the other way, Oxford went down awkwardly in a heavy Tackle breaking and displacing his ankle and our best wishes are with him during this time.

Greenwich University clearly more determined for a win racked up an impressive 14 points before the half time as the Kent Ravens looked to have lost the knowledge on how to win after two previous away defeats; the sides went in 4 vs. 14.

It was Greenwich who continued on the front foot when the match restarted, as they added to their tally with a controversial try in the corner and conversion in the early minutes of the second period, this seemed to bring the Ravens out of their shell now being 16 points down at their own  stadium.

Kent started to use their powerful forward pack and the University side did not have an answer as Andre Karon coming back from injury, first added a try with Aiden Oakley adding the two points and after two close attempts where by Oliver Lewis and Oakley both came close to scoring but for last ditch tackles by Greenwich’s highly impressive back line. But, it was man of the match Jose Corriera who added the final try of the night and Oakley added the extras, final score 16 vs. 20.
