It threatened to be all over when Oadby scored again to make it 24-7, but Olney stuck in there.

Isaac Shields then scored twice in quick succession to make it 24-17 and all to play for.

Almost from the restart, Olney charged forwards and Brandon Kerr was on hand to touch down. The kick would be down to Patch Adams, which he duly sent between the posts to level the scores at the death.
