But as Melton switched off Lutterworth earned a converted try after a maul near Melton's line.

THE visitors arrived with a strong side to test unbeaten Melton.

Nottingham controlled the game from kick-off, rucking the ball very well and having some fine runs from the backs. Melton defended in numbers snuffing out everything Nottingham threw at them, but lost possession too easily.

Nottingham scored a try just before half-time after a driving maul inside Melton's five-metre area. Melton tried hard to respond, but couldn't break Nottingham's solid line and unusually struggled in the scrum and Nottingham added a converted try.

Both sides made some big hits in the tackles and a Nottingham player was finally sent off for consistent foul play. The best team won, but Melton made Nottingham work extremely hard.
