Fielding a much-changed side with clearly both eyes on this weekend’s upcoming game against Birmingham & Solihull, the Guernsey side were 36-0 down at the break, but with tries from Matt Creber and Malcolm Barnes outscored the home side after the break.

The result leaves them 13th in the National Two South table, pushed down one spot by Barnes who sneaked a win at Tonbridge Juddians and move ahead of Jordan Reynolds’ side on points difference.
