Berks Bucks & Oxon League: Wallingford finished off their highly successful season and cemented a third-place finish in Division 1 with an impressive 71-0 victory over Chipping Norton.
There was a 20-minute delay early on when one of the Chippy locks suffered a back injury and an ambulance needed to be called.
The game was switched to an adjacent smaller training pitch so that the injured player did not have to be moved.
After the restart, Wallingford raced into a 31-0 half-time lead with two tries from powerful centre Johnny Collett and further scores from left-winger Luke Carter, Henry Venners and Chris Murray. Olli Henderson landed three conversions.
In the second half, the one-way traffic continued as tries came at regular intervals from Chris Jenkins, Henderson, Peter Thorns (2) and a third for Collett.
However, the best of the lot came when scrum half Derek Viljoen scrambled through a pile of bodies on his own 22 and ran fully 80 metres to score a magnificent solo try.
Henderson added a further five conversions in the second half to emphasise the gulf between the two sides.
Gosford All Blacks, brimming with confidence, cruised home 26-9 in their Division 2 game at Harwell.
Three penalties by scrum half Tim Sutton, who also coverted a well-worked try by Alex Borthwick, put Gosford 16-0 ahead at half-time.
After the break, Harwell hit back with three penalties from the boot of Dave Bevan, while Gosford had to be content with two unconverted tries through Tom Upchurch and a solo effort by Sutton.
