Saltash 107 pts St Just RFC 5pts.
Saltash produced a seventeen try demolition of a very plucky St Just side that kept battling until the final whistle but could not contain the fast flowing Ashes team that were back to playing their best open rugby of the season and it was a good match to
Tom Rixson opened the scoring after 5 minutes with Lewis Stuart following with a touch down 4 minutes later and Danny Snook adding the extra points (12-0). Will Morton was in scintillating form and ran through the visiting defence to score three tries in ten minutes and with conversions put the home side 31-0 after 24 minutes. St Just got a deserved consolation try when their forwards finished a rare excursion into the Ashes "22" after 32 minutes. Danny Snook getting behind the posts and Will Morton following a kick ahead concluded the first half scoring to increase the Ashes lead at the interval to 43-5.
The second period started with skipper Jay Moriarty getting on the end of a well worked move on the right wing within two minutes and more Ashes tries came at regular intervals through Phil Eatwell who ran through St Just's defence, Ryan Cruickshanks and Will Morton again adding another to his total to put them 69-5 ahead with conversions 12 minutes after the restart. Continuing to play in a confident and relaxed manner Saltash piled on the points with tries by Ryan Cruickshanks, Ryan Rayner, Jason Carroll, Will Morton and Lewis Wells. The conversions were kicked by Danny Snook(7) and Jack Pritchard (4).
