Didcot did reply on 5 minutes with a converted penalty from Josh Witts. Score 3-7. However, Witney were soon on the front foot again and on 12 minutes scored their second try by Arron Lambourne who also converted. Score 3-14.
This seemed to wake Didcot up and they started to put some phases together.

The try was converted by Josh Witts. Score 10-14. With Didcot now applying pressure, Witney were penalised just outside their 10m line. Josh Witts converted to make the score 13-14.

The second half was an fairly event affair. Didcot missed a long range penalty in the 47th minute and 5 minutes later Witney secured the win with a Lloyd Allen Try converted by Lambourne Score 13-26. Didcot's cause was not helped Isa Mohammed was sent off for his second Yellow card on the 63th minute.as Witney finished strongly with Coach Adam Copperwheat tactically using replacements through out the game.
