A blistering performance by an under-strength Braintree team which was slow to start, but proved unstoppable.
After a sleepy kick off Braintree appeared to be out flanked as Brentwood seized control of the game and made deep probing attacks. But with captain Charlie Shephard back from injury at Full Back, the attacks were blunted, and the defence held. A tight first half saw Braintree leak a penalty as the only points on the board.
But a galvanised team rejoined battle after the break with No 8 James Caulfield stalwart in attack to pick up two tries. Winger Olly Williams crossed over once, but was judged to have had a foot in touch. Joss Adams, playing of position at scrum half was outstanding with superb tactical kicking and incisive runs, one of which resulted in a well-deserved try. Tom Osborn converted.
Tries: Caulfield (2), Adams
Conv: Osborn
