Fullerians three game winning run was brought to a halt on Saturday as title chasing Brentwood eased to a 36-5 London One North win.

The home side were blessed with genuine pace in their back line and, despite Fullers best efforts, their quality eventually told.

Brentwood started on the front foot and played some free-flowing rugby to put pressure on Fullers which eventually told as they went over for the opening score.

Rich Hoskins’ side refused to let the set-back get to them and were level soon after when a well-worked scrum allowed Tom Sherriff to touch down.

Injuries to Craig South and George Harvey, who suffered respective hamstring and calf injuries, caused issues for the Fullers’ defence and they were always on the back foot after the duo left the pitch.

Myles Toon was then sinbinned for a high tackle and Brentwood made the most of their extra man to extend their lead to 19-5.

Fullers looked to come back into the game after the half-time break, but a further yellow card, this time for Dominic Toon prevented them doing so.

Brentwood ran in 16 more points without reply, but Hoskins was still pleased with his players’ effort and highlighted how injuries had impacted the result.

He said: “We did well today considering we lost personnel in the first quarter of the game and up against a Brentwood who are second in the league.

“We weren’t clinical enough and didn’t take our chances where Brentwood did and deserved the win.

“The guys worked hard and were disappointed as the score didn’t reflect the game.”

The result leaves Fullers seventh in the table ahead of the visit of Letchworth Garden City tomorrow.

Elsewhere, a potent Belsize Park attack proved too strong for Tabard as they condemned their hosts to the most crushing of 71-0 defeats on Saturday.

The result looked a long way off in a first half in which Tabard were defensively sound if rather one-dimensional when going forward.

They held out until the closing stages of the first period when a kick in behind opened the previously locked Tabard defence.

A Park man was first to the ball and produced a simple step inside his marker to go over before the extras were added.

Park still had time to notch a second score ahead of the break when a catch and drive put them over once again.

Breaking the deadlock before the break seemed to relieve the stress on Park and they played with greater freedom after the interval.

Their commitment to attacking rugby left Tabard chasing shadows for much of the second period and they ran in nine tries without reply before full-time.
