Esher 29 (Tries: Moore 2, Cormack 2. Cons: Hallett 3. Pen: Hallett.). 

Barking 13 (Try: Rokobaro. Con: Pilat. Pens: Pilat 2.). 

At the start of the season, Esher would have bitten your hand off if they had been offered a third place finish in a league that can be at times unpredictable. Saturday’s well-deserved victory over Barking has now guaranteed the Surrey Side third place.

Esher were seeking revenge over a 17 – 15 defeat earlier in the season at Barking, a defeat that began to a poor run of games for Esher who at the time were riding high.

On Saturday Barking took the lead after only 2 minutes through the boot of Corrado Pilat, one off the many non-English players that the East London side consist off. The score became 3 all on 7minutes when Esher’s Neil Hallett slotted over his penalty kick. Esher then began to display some form that had been missing in the past weeks and a scorching run by Matt Moore the leagues highest try scorer by a long way went in for his 23^rd try of the season, Hallett added the extra two and Esher took the lead 8 points to 3. On 23 minutes some respite for Barking as Pilat added a three-point penalty as some reward for having defended stoutly against a fired up Esher.

On the stroke off half time, Esher felt they had scored a good try under the posts, the touch judge agreed but referee Mr Turnill felt otherwise and ordered a 5 metre attacking scrum. From the scrum and eventual line out, Esher showed that they are still masters of the rolling maul and as they charged forward at an unstoppable pace, skipper Duncan Cormack popped up with the ball in hand to claim the try. At half time Esher looked in control and led 15 points to 6.

The second period began as it ended with Esher in control, and another rolling maul on 49 minutes saw Cormack celebrating his brace of tries, Hallett adding the extra two points to extend their lead to 22 points to 6. On 64 minutes Esher looked as if they would be scoring their bonus point try as flanker Jack Davison made a superb break down field, with the try line in sight, he was tackled by the chasing Barking defenders, the visitors turned the ball over and broke away themselves and ended up scoring a try through number 8 S Rokobaro, the conversion by Pilat bought the score back to 22 – 13. Esher rang the changes and took off debutant Will Maddox who had a good game on the wing, Ever present Mark Butterworth who had been once again a stalwart in the Esher side all season, and Simon Elkinson the Esher hooker.
