SECOND XV SCORE 12 TRIES IN SOUTHAMPTON HAMMERING
Tottonians 2nd XV try scoring spree continued with a 12-try blitz in hammering Southampton at Test Park 80-12 – winger Cam Findlay helping himself to four of them.

Totts remain in third place in the table but take their try tally over the last two games to 23 as Tom Bayford’s side put on a show once more.

Jamie Laing and Max Cannon also grabbed a pair of tries as seven players got on the scoresheet, including debutant prop Luke Miller in the second half while Rich Colmer posted 10 conversions off the tee.

BACK-to-BACK DEFEATS DERAILS TOTTONIANS 3s PROMOTION CHARGE
It was back to back defeats for Tottonians 3s but only just as they slipped to a 40-32 loss at a strong Farnborough side, who only took the crucial lead with two tries in the dying minutes of the contest.

Two tries from player of the match Oli Symes led the visitors to an early lead but the hosts, boosted by some local Army-based Fijians, closed the gap and eventually snuck over the line.
