Further scores for David Orwell and Michael Birch, with extras added by Langhorn, made it 30-12 before a late comeback by the team from the capital.

Tom Whitehead and Jack Pemberton got first-half tries, Sean Garrett converting one of them.
OLDHAM St Anne's under-18s enjoyed an excellent 22-12 win at Ashton Bears in North-West Counties Youth League division one.
