Its taken a week to write the Lutterworth match report because it was a bitter pill to swallow.

Lutterworth are top and unbeaten, and found a way to win. We congratulate them on a tough game and wish them the best in their inevitable promotion.

In terms of how the chance was missed, it could be debated forever. With 15 minutes to go, Scouts were 20-11 up and had given everything to put themselves in a match winning opportunity.

But,...for reasons that will stay in Lutterworth on the 15th Feb, the hosts scored two more tries including one in the last minute of the game.

Scouts deserved to win but on this occasion didn't. This is sport.
