Colchester Colts defeat neighbours Ipswich

Many thanks must go to Ipswich for agreeing to this rearranged fixture at short notice after the previous Colchester Colts game was cancelled by the previous opposition. Despite the previous heavy rain, the pitch held up well and allowed both sides to produce some fine rugby. With Colchester giving every available player some game time, this match was all about getting back into competitive rugby after the Christmas break and trying out different combinations. In a closely fought game that occasionally proved a little fractious, Colchester emerged victorious with tries coming from Elliott Hinton, James Simpson, Jack O'Sullivan and Will Allen.
Final Score: Colchester 24 Ipswich 10
