STORTFORD took the Hertfordshire bragging rights with a hard fought win over OA. A hot afternoon at Woollams and many changes of personnel will have given both coaching staffs plenty to think over before the season starts.

Austin Price went over for Stortford, Connor Lloyd converted to make it 19-12 at the break....
