Xavier Andre bagged a try brace on his debut as Oxford Harlequins collected their first win of the National 3 South West season with a 49-17 victory at Weston-Super-Mare.

Tim Knapp also notched a double – one as flanker and one as winger – as Quins collected a bonus point with a seven-try romp.

In the first minute, centre Dom Maley found wing Andre with a long pass and the latter side-stepped his way through to score.

Quins notched again four minutes later with fly half Andy Noyce setting up prop and captain Simon Chadbone and centre Martin Nutt converted from the touchline.

It was 19-0 just before the half hour as scrum half Anthony Cope took a quick penalty and Noyce sent Andre on a 45-metre run to the line.

Nutt converted, but Andre’s spectacular debut was soon ended by a facial injury.

Quins secured the bonus point when Knapp burst over before the break.

A half-time re-jig saw Knapp switch to wing and he completed his brace with an opportunist try on 43 minutes.

Quins then ripped open the home defence, with flanker Morgan Cross finishing under the posts and Nutt converting for 36-0.

Weston hit back with tries from replacement Neil Trevena, David Burge and George Wright, with Chris Young converting one.

Nutt slotted a penalty in this period, but a further three-pointer and the same player’s try and conversion wrapped up an emphatic win.

Chinnor suffered their first defeat – 23-20 at Redingensians, despite leading 20-5 at one point.

The visitors lost centre Ben Hewitt to a hamstring injury on the eve of the match, but left wing Ben Farr touched down four minutes into his Chinnor debut following a fine move.

Redingensians hit back when prop James Baker pounced on a loose line-out ball.

Centre James Hewitt slotted a penalty before Chinnor extended their lead with wing James Serrano crashing over after a series of driving mauls.

The hosts saw lock Sam Hallett sin-binned and went 20-5 down as Chinnor hooker Simon Tattersall bagged their third try.

Chinnor seemed to go off the boil and spurned several penalty chances, while the hosts reduced the deficit to 20-17 at half-time thanks to tries from No 8 Rob Stapley and centre Seb Reynolds and Spike Chandler’s conversion.

Scoring was harder in the second half.

But while Hewitt missed five penalties for Chinnor, Chandler landed two for Redingensians.

The hosts also had Owen Root, their other lock, yellow-carded, while Chinnor felt Farr was harshly denied a second try for off-side following a cross kick.
