Jamie Orr then scored a great try after a kick and chase from Ryan Moffat, before two fine scores by Rowan made it four for the afternoon for him.

To conclude the scoring Matthew Stewart got his own try after Robbie Orr made a clever dummy on the blind side to allow the lead to be extended to 49-0.

A special mention goes to man of the match Jamie Orr.
