Almost too quick as Marlins hang on for victory

The second game had PJF up to eleven. The match against old rivals Sutton and Epsom saw PJF out of the blocks like a rocket. Three fast tries, one from Josh and two from Jules saw PJF with a commanding lead at half time. The second half saw S&E using their size and weight to good effect and grabbed a score back at the start of the second half, but PJF struck straight back with another demonstration of great finishing from Josh. Sutton continued with the more physical strategy and getting the rub of the green on penalties they went in under the posts. PJF were tiring noticeably with only one sub to roll on and off to Sutton's 7 Sutton crossed again in the corner followed by another in the corner. The critical thing was that all bar one of Sutton's tries were scored out wide and PJF hung on for a creditable 28 - 24 victory.
