East London started the day in third position with Romford just behind them. Both teams have been very strong over the past few weeks and the game was a credit to both clubs and London 3 Essex.

East London dominated the scoreboard for much of the game but Romford's never say die attitude took them past the finishing post with a last play try in a pulsating fixture that spectators have enjoyed but left coaches pulling their hair out, if East London head coach Eddie Gooby had any .

East London's try scorers on the day were full back Max Stanyard (2), number 8 Dan Bracken, hooker Lewis Bourke and right wing Kevin O'Donoghue. Fly-half Ryan Billinghurst kicked a penalty and four conversions.
