The first team pack played well and scored the tries with Henry Tones on the scoresheet. James Masshedar did cross the line for what would have been a winning try but it was disallowed.
The Stags plyed their first half with uncontested scrums until the arrival of Carlo Robinson from work but had a decent start to their season.
Sadly the first day of rugby was marred by a brak in at the clubhiouse last night with a small amount of cash taken.
