Aaron Taylor and Charlie Mallock also crossed over in the first half, with Alexander Bruce kicking two conversions.

Meanwhile, Banbury Under 11A triumphed in the London Irish Festival to lift their second Land Rover Cup of the year, having previously won at Northampton.

After winning tough group games against Chinnor, Overton, Oxford and Newbury, they overcame hosts Reading Abbey 30-5 in the semi-final.
