What a turnaround. After going 17-8 in Ireland last week the Blues produced a scintillating performance at Goldington Road which more than clipped the wings of the Eagles ...

We ran in seven tries  with two each for Nick Fenton-Wells and James Short and the others from  Corey Hircock, Charlie Clare and Patrick Tapley.

Next up is Boxing Day with a much harder  Championship game at Rotherham.
