Watford continued their good run of form with another solid performance

Words from George 'Pie-dizzle' Hicks

Enfield started the better side and watfords young backline was immediately tested by some strong Enfield runs but Watford repelled their attacks. it was Watford who struck first with a big powerful run from number 8 Stevens to open the scoring under the posts and Harris kicked the extras to make it 7-0.
Watfords centre Stewart made a cracking break stretching Enfields defence and managing to offload it just before he was brought down popping to winger Rogers who was also just caught in time by Enfields winger allowing Enfield to clear the ball and re group. This time it was Enfields time to attack and watfords strong defence was finally breached from a lovely line from their winger in the corner and he made it 7-5 . In a energy sapping and defensively brutal first half Watford led with the slimmest of margins mainly due to m.o.m and u17 Rogers showing it doesn't matter how big or old you are and tackling everything that moved.

The second half started with the home side going through the phases with some good forward work and then unleashing the young quick backs who were playing well but just stopped short by some fine defence from Enfield. Watford eventually scored again this time big prop Thomas barrelling over from close range and the conversion narrowly missed score was 12-5 Watford continued to attack and Thomas again showed how hard he is to tackle and broke through 2 or 3 tackles before brutally handing off their winger to dot down in the corner 17-5. Enfield were rallied by this and spent the last ten minutes hammering on Watfords door but Watford were not letting them in with some fierce tackling and good communication to prevent Enfield getting a late try the game finished 17-5 to Watford
