Notts, Lincs & Derby Semi-final
13 May 2023
This weekend Arnold’s Paviors RFC booked their place in the final of the Notts, Lincs and Derby Cup Final by defeating a spirited Glossop RFC XV at Burntstump Hill.
On a lovely afternoon and on a pacey looking pitch, both teams entered the fray with plenty of vim and vigour.
Glossop opened the scoring with a penalty, before Paviors struck back with a Matt Molyneux try and a George Billam penalty on 25 minutes.
A further Glossop penalty saw a half time score of 8-6 in favour of the home side.
Glossop made a bright start to the second half, before Paviors pressure began to tell.
Phil Eggleshaw broke through to score on 55 minutes and with the conversion and a further Billam penalty Paviors took what proved to be an insurmountable lead at 18-6.
Paviors now take on Dronfield RFC at Lady Bay on May 27 in the final game of the season.
Paviors Rugby Club play at Burntstump Hill, Arnold, NG5 8PQ and the club runs over twenty teams.
