Man of the Match: Warwick Lahmert - The departing Kiwi put in another top performance pulling the strings in what was a good attacking display from the Bees. A third try of the season on his last performance before going off with the New Zealand 7s trials was much deserved.

Try of the Match: The Bee's second try scored by Charlie Sadler - after 7 phases of play and on Barking's 5 metre line, Lahmert passed out to Dan Hawkes who threw a miss pass out to Sadler on the wing to run over in the corner.

Moment of the Match - Third try by Warwick Lahmert - On what could be Lahmert's last try for the Bees, until he returns from New Zealand trials. After a five metre scrum on Barkings line, Lahmert managed to pick up and dive over the line to close the deficit to 25-22 after the conversion. The game was definately up for the taking at this point.
