He said: "We played with a lot of pace and power and I was really impressed with our guys. We broke them down and showed a lot of ways to score tries."

Tim Molenaar and Luke Sherriff led the way, both grabbing hat-tricks in the 71-3 Meadow Lane romp.

There were five further tries and David Jackson added eight conversions.
