Vale of White Horse 15s opened their defence of the Wright Cup by demolishing Bournemouth 7-1 in the first round at Milton United.

Nick Christodoulou opened the scoring in the second minute, and Richard Taylor glanced a header from a free-kick over the keeper five minutes later.

Poor marking allowed Bournemouth to pull a goal back before half-time.

Dale Higham scored in the second half, and Matthew Clark grabbed the best goal of the game with a firm header from a right-wing cross following a five-man move.

Jack McKean made it 5-1 from close range following a corner, and Clark rifled a shot into the top corner from 20 yards in the last minute.

There was still time for Christodoulou to race through the middle to add No 7.

Vale are away to Aldershot in the second round.
