The students came back into the game after the break thanks to tries from Karelle Dixon of Oxford University and Will Green from Oxford Brookes. Mat Honeyben also kicked two conversions and one penalty. But their efforts were not enough with the Penguins scoring a massive eight tries by the final whistle. Will Ruibe was their star man, crashing over the try-line three times, with Dave McCallum, John Allen, Eddie McLaughlin, Paul Newton and Howard Graham also scoring. Graham also kicked five successful conversions.
