But as quickly as it came, it was lost, Tetbury yet again exploited a gap in the Kingswood defence and ran the ball for almost the whole of the Kingswood half before a couple of quick passes saw them go over for their 4th try of the match to retake the lead.
Time seemed to stand still as Kingswood crept forward, roars from the crowd were pushing them on and after what seemed like an eternity, Mark Oakley went over to give Kingswood their 4th try and to put them 1 point in the lead.
