After 15 minutes a number of quick phases James Brett kicked over the defence and put Tom Winch in at the corner for the first score of the game, the conversion missed in windy conditions.

Two minutes later the lead was doubled when Wills Bennett offloaded to winger Jack Kempster who went over, again the conversion being missed.

It was then 18-0 by half-time, as Winch was sent clear and he ran half the length of the pitch to score, the try again going unconverted.

Peterborough fought back in the second-half, scoring two unconverted tries of their own, but Buzzards held on to win.
