Gosford All Blacks fell to a 54-10 home defeat against Broadmoor Staff in the BB&O Premier Division.

New Zealander Dan Thiele had a fine game at centre, but Broadmoor were mobile, strong and effective.

Broadmoor opened up with a try from full back Ben Yates, which fly half Shaun Franklin converted.

Thiele’s fine solo try and Tim Ellis’s conversion gave Gosford momentary parity.

But two tries and a conversion from the impressive Franklin gave Broadmoor the edge.

Ellis’s penalty made it 19-10, but Dan Harvey, Dave Abbott and Gareth Lewis crossed before the break with Franklin converting all three.

Gosford defended better after half-time, but still conceded tries to Shaun Evans and Franklin, who converted both.

Wheatley conceded their seventh walkover of a hapless season when they could not raise a side to make the short trip to Oxford.
