Reigning champions Devon made it two victories from two matches in the Bill Beaumont Cup by beating Middlesex at Staines on Saturday.

The holders must beat Gloucestershire at Brickfields next weekend to clinch their place at Twickenham.

Plymouth Albion fly-half Dan Hawkes scored a try and landed five penalties, with Exeter Chiefs pair Ben Scott and Tom Bedford also going over.

The scrums were uncontested due to Middlesex losing both their props.
