For the second home game in succession at Winters Park the result of the game was not known until deep into stoppage time, this time Penrith had to settle for a draw rather than pinching the game at the death. Penrith started the game strongly and only excellent defence by the Beverley pack kept them out as they hammered away at the visitors line in the opening minutes. The home side were to open the scoring, Gavin Cartmel broke clear after taking a delayed flat pass off the shoulder of Steve Wood, he tried to feed Phil Fell on the left wing but was taken out by the visitors winger who was yellow carded, Wood put over the resultant penalty. The game at this stage was pretty even and both sides had try scoring opportunities but the final pass didn't quite go to hand. Beverley took one of their chances mid way through the first period, a clever chip saw the ball in no man’s land in front of the full back, Cartmel just beat the chaser to the ball and fly hacked clear, unfortunately the ball fell to the visitors winger and some weak tackling saw him put the full-back over in the corner and round under the posts for a converted try. They went further ahead with another converted try, Paul Newton had the ball stripped from him and they were in behind a team expecting the ball, they made ground up their left before spinning the ball to the right against an unorganised rearguard and again weak tackling let them in for a soft try. Penrith did get back into it and were rather fortunate to be awarded a penalty in the Beverley 22, the visitors won a scrum and fed the ball for the clearance kick and then blocked the chasers. Wood took the three points and then in the last play of the first half was instrumental in bringing his side right back into the game. Most of the credit goes to the forwards who drove their opposite numbers back following a lineout, then set up a series of driven mauls to take them well into the visitors 22, the ball was released to Wood who moved to the outside which created the space and then found Mike Raine with a clever inside ball. He drove over and Wood's conversion brought Penrith to within a point at 13-14 down. Penrith had much the better of the first 30 minutes of the second half dominating proceeding and should have had more than two Wood penalties to show for their efforts. A little bit more patience when in possession in the visitors 22 might have bourne more fruit. After appearing to be in almost total control they went into the final 10 minutes and seemed to panic, Both Tom Armstrong and Gavin Cartmel got themselves yellow carded, desperately defending and as the game went into stoppage time they only had 13 men on the field. Beverley were applying an enormous amount of pressure and Penrith were defending on their own line for all they were worth. The visitors won a penalty and being 5 points adrift took the scrum, Penrith had to pack 8 forwards as the scrums were a close fought affair all afternoon which left them 2 down in the backs, they repelled the first phase of attack but defended deeper and deeper until their line was broken and Beverley crossed for a try close to the posts to level the scores at 19-19 with a relatively easy conversion to follow. Pressure can be a funny thing and the conversion went just wide to be followed by the final whistle and the spoils shared. It was another nail biter for players and supporters alike and a draw was probably a fair result considering what had gone on before.
