With the London Blitz being unable to field a side due to lack of player numbers, the Brewers stepped in at late notice to give an exceptionally good account of themselves.

The Wolverines took their opening drive, downfield behind a solid ground game, finished off by a swing pass to Matt Lord who swept out right to score and give them an early 6 – 0 advantage. The Kent outfit stiffened their defense for the rest of the period, with Lancashire unable to increase their lead and have to settle for field position.

The Brewers forced their way downfield and into field goal position, early in the second, only for a botched snap to ruin their good work. Once again the Wolverines went to the ground, mixing in the odd pass to keep the Brewers honest. A Mead to Keane score was called back for an illegible receiver downfield. The replayed down saw Lord sprint in again to be denied by a holding call and a further ten-yard penalty. Now facing a third and long David Mead dashed in on a keeper for a score. Mark Liptrot nailed the kick to increase the Wolverines lead to 14 – 0. Kent's Sean Starwind took the kick off back for sixty-three yards to bring the Brewers back into the game and reduce the Wolverine advantage to 14 – 6. A twenty-six yard pass from Mead to Adam Broomhead padded the Lancashire lead to 20 – 6 with the kick being unsuccessful. With less than thirty seconds in the half Mead took the snap and rolled right, found his was blocked and swept left to out sprint the Brewers defense and extend the Wolverine's lead to 26 – 6. Liptrot kicked the extra points to close the half with the Lancashire outfit sitting on a comfortable 28 – 6 lead.

Kent's opening drive of the third period stalled on the Wolverine's four-yard line when Joe Eastham stepped in front of his receiver to intercept. A Mead pass Michael Keane for forty yards gave the Wolverines good field position only for Charlie Thompson to regain the ball from a fumble for the Brewers, who refused to be over awed by the occasion or their more experienced opponents. On their next drive Mead rolled left to hit Lord in the end zone to increase the Wolverine lead to 34 – 6.

The fourth period became an anti-climax as the both defenses took a firm grip on the game and despite finding a soft spot up the Lancashire middle, the Brewers were unable to reduce the arrears, in a game of exceptionally high quality.

The Wolverines go into next season in good shape and do not lose a single player. Their foresight in running flag, junior and youth kitted sides gives them an excellent platform and will make the transition to 11-man football easy for them. The Brewers, with their new ties with the Exiles, also look to be a team progressing nicely and will be a force in the south next year.
