 BBC - Lincolnshire - Sport - Spalding RFC 1st 27-32 Lutterworth RFC 1st
Jim Bushell broke near the half way, Richard Cooke kicked through and Jamie Anthony had the speed to make the touch down and equal the score.  Lutterworth were soon back in Town’s territory, forcing them to concede a penalty and this time their centre made no mistake with his kick.
Again Spalding were on the back foot and only brave defence kept the visitors at bay.  A try by Harry Sharman, however, and one from the top draw, brought his side back into contention.
Spalding added to their lead with a penalty from Bushell and from seemingly facing a mounting score line, they went into the second period with an unlikely 15–8 advantage.

The Spalding Gentlemen’s Society, one of the oldest learned Societies in the kingdom, and the earliest provincial association for the encouragement of archaeology, was founded by Maurice Johnson, (1688-1755), ‘The Antiquary’, of Ayscoughfee Hall, Spalding.
It began with a series of informal meetings of a few local gentlemen at a coffee-house in the Abbey Yard, Spalding, in 1710 to discuss local antiquities and to read ‘The Tatler’, a newly published London periodical.
In 1712, it was decided to place the meetings on a more permanent footing, and proposals were issued for the establishing of a ‘Society of Gentlemen, for the supporting of mutual benevolence, and their improvement in the liberal sciences and in polite learning’.
