LUCTONIANS Colts narrowly beat their Hereford counterparts 13-12 on Sunday.

Hereford took an early lead through a penalty from Bryn Goodall before a well-organised rolling maul gave the visitors a narrow lead at the break.

After the restart, both teams continued to play attacking rugby.

Goodall kicked over two more penalties to regain the lead for Hereford before a Lucs penalty reduced the deficit.

The match was then stopped after a Luctonians player was taken to hospital with a serious knee injury.

After the restart, a well-taken drop goal from Goodall put Hereford 12-8 ahead but some determined play from Lucs saw them convert a try and pick up the win.
