Holt continued their unbeaten run but were made to work hard by a lively West Norfolk side in a game played in constant rain.
Holt started confidently and within five minutes their number 10, Tom Jackson, found a gap in the visitors defence to score under the posts . The conversion by full back James Wyatt made the score 7-0.
West responded with a good overall team performance and more than held their own in the forward battle. Holt were finding it difficult to adapt to the the wet ball and slippery conditions; they were regularly conceding penalties one of which was converted by West's full back, Jack Trundley, making it 7-3.
West kept up the pressure and were rewarded with a try by centre, Josh Bray, converted by Jack Trundley giving them a half time lead of 7-10.
For the first time this season Holt were behind at half-time but were soon back on course with two dominant five metre scrums which allowed the ball to be released quickly to winger, Geoff Flather, who touched down making the score 12 - 10 with the conversion failing.
West re-took the lead 12-13 with a penalty kicked by Jack Trundley but it was not for long. Holt centre , Matt Howell, took on the West defence and fed second row, Robbie Gray,who crashed over the line for one of his trade mark tries.The conversion attempt by James Wyatt was wide but he later completed the scoring with a well struck penalty.
The Norfolk Brewhouse 'Man of the Match' for Holt was Matt Howell who was chosen by Volunteer Recognition Scheme Sponsors, The Brisley Bell.
As a result of late call-offs by Lowestoft and Yarmouth 2 and Wymondham 3 a mixed Holt XV were grateful to Wisbech for sending a team to Holt for a friendly with the visitors winning 27 - 43.
