VALE B made the perfect start at Hutton when Mike Hazelgrave went over for an early try converted by Martin Powell.
Unfortunately the Vale rested on their laurels and allowed Hutton back into the game.
The home side took full advantage and cour
tesy of two unconverted tries edged into the lead.
These two scores galvanised the Vale into action and they responded with a series of surges deep into Hutton territory. Powell converted his own try and just before half-time the hard working Chris Brown claimed an unconverted try.
After a rousing half-time team talk from team manager, Paul Antcliffe, a workmanlike Vale side contained the home side but failed to press home a number of attacks.
As the game moved into its final quarter a converted Hutton try reduced the visitor's lead to a couple of points.
A penalty goal from Powell settled the Vale's nerves before the lively Jonathan Archer powerfully broke through a number of tackles prior to sending David Hughes racing over in the corner for an unconverted try.
Vale successfully held the home side at arm's length as the clock ticked down. During the second half the introduction of Tom Hayes added impetus to the Vale's cause in what had been a tricky encounter at Hutton.
