The Colts steamed through to the final where they met old adversaries Melton. Melton got off to a flying start and went 17-0 up. This was the first time Hinckley had been behind all tournament, however such is the nature of the beast these scores can be quickly turned around...

It would be rather remiss of me not to publicly acknowledge my old school, JCC’s fine achievement in winning at Twickenham recently, well done again boys. Indeed some thirteen seasons ago I was the proud captain to lift the very same trophy...

Local derby cup games are usually tense, tight affairs but after a spirited 30 mins this game was over. 6 tries to 2 with Keeling kicking all conversions meant a March 24th meeting in the final against South Leicester was the only outcome.
