Ryan Kerr jumped and disrupted well in the line out with good lifting from Adam Proctor, Jonny Maguire and Arney McKinstry.

Stuart Russell played one of his best matches this season by making hard crunching tackles which put Queens on the back foot.

A return to rugby by Stuarty Sloan after a two year absence at hooker seen his throws in the line out hit their marks.

The paring of Craig Williams at nine and Philly Lunn 10 controlled the play resulting in the back line running hard at Queens.
