Gosford All Blacks showed plenty of spirit in their 41-0 defeat at Stow-on-the-Wold in the BB&O Premier Division.

Nippy wing Craig Chappell forced his way over for Stow's opening try on 13 minutes.

But debutant flanker Jack Clarke replied for Gosford with scrum half Tim Ellis converting.

James Whiteman scored a second try for Stow with Ellis's penalty levelling at 10-10.

Stow's hooker, James Hicks, went over just before half-time.

Gosford had centre Alex Webb sin-binned early in the second half and conceded further tries to Mike Williams, Davy Jones, Dave Abbott and Peter Taylor, Nick Caffero converting three.
