And just before half-time more Bletchley indiscipline resulted in Oxford levelling the game with a penalty.

Oxford kicked a penalty early in the seocnd half to lead 6-3 but Bletchley stormed foeard and although they crossed the line three times they were denied a try, Dale Keane-Matthews grounding the ball on one occasion but an Oxford defender slipping his hand under the ball before theb referee could get round to see.

Oxford later converted another penalty to lead 9-3 and Bletchley then lost the impressive George Harman with injury.

But all was not lost, and after an Oxford player was yellow carded, the relentless pressure told and Bletchley were awarded a penalty try, converted by Daniel Read to make it 10-9.

There was still drama to come with Oxford awarded a late penalty, the Oxford kicker though off target.
