With the rules of the competition barring all previous cup winning players, Mens Own fielded their best team, but it wasn't enough against a strong Daventry side. The home side took the lead after 20 minutes with a well worked try, Matt Burton reducing the lead with a penalty for the visitors. With the muddy conditions making any flowing rugby difficult, half time came with Daventry leading by 5-3.
Mens Own fought hard after the break and came close to scoring several tries, but with 10 minutes remaining, Daventry scored a breakaway converted try, and with the clock running down the home forwards powered over for a try in the corner to give them a deserved win by 17-3.
