A depleted Coops side travelled to Burnham on the back of an overdue victory against East London.

Last week Coops had the home advantage with the crowd the 16th man and this week was Burnham's chance to make the most of the pre match lunch support.

Despite an early yellow card for Coops the score remained 0-0. Coops applied some of the early pressure and were rewarded with a penalty try. Burnham leveled before the half time break.
