Twisters (1st XV) 31 Beaconsfield 9

Old Priorians maintained their quest for the London 2NW title with a bonus point 31-9 victory away at Beaconsfield.

The opening exchanges were scrappy, dominated by the referees whistle in a foreshadowing of what was to come. Beaconsfield had three early penalties scored whilst the OPs replied with a Jarleth Hughes try to make it 9-7 to the home side. The OPs' James Booth added a penalty before a classic OP counter attack saw Jack Dever score for a half time score of 19-7 to the Ealing side.

The OPs dominated much of the second half but were unable to get over the try line until late in the game. Joe Codrington broke Beaconsfield resolve before Jarleth Hughes burst through to score his second and secure the bonus point.

The OP season continues on a second front this Saturday with the highly anticipated national cup quarter final away at Guildford who ride high in London 2SW.
