A supercharged first-half performance, saw the Roffensian team establish a 25-0 half-time lead and then it was a question of whether the ORs could manage the inevitable riposte. Barely a week after the announcement of A-Level results, the young alumni group faced a new examination in the second period, playing up the hill and into the advance guard of Storm Lilian. In the event the Old Boys came through the test with a starred “A” performance, but, predictably, the Medway XV made this an arm-wrestle as it sought to wrest the Buxton Memorial Trophy from the grip of the holders. Medway's increasing dominance in the set-piece meant that the Roffensians made but a few excursions into the opposition half in the second-half as the game was confined to the foothills of the Priestfields' slope and the 25-12 victory joined the catalogue of tightly fought tussles in the modern series.
