The sixth win in seven starts took them a point clear of Tring at the top, this after Westcliff sprung a surprise and edged out the deposed league leaders and title favourites Barnes 13-12.

Jordan Reynolds’ men played the conditions perfectly, establishing a big half-time lead on the back of the very strong wind at their backs for the first 40 and then holding onto it.

There were first-half tries for Dale Martin, Luke Jones, Owen Thomas, Luke Sayer and Malcolm Barnes before Cameron Craine completed the scoring in the second half.
