Tries from Scott Macleod, Will Welch, Ally Hogg, Mark Wilson and Richard Mayhew secured the win for Dean Richards’ side.

Jimmy Gopperth proved reliable with the boot to augment the scoring and opened up proceedings with an early penalty.

It was 3-3 soon after though as Oliver Thomas converted his own kick with 20 minutes gone.

Macleod scored the first try soon after and points from both Gopperth and Thomas made it 13-6.

A converted Mayhew try then made it 20-6 at half-time.

Gopperth failed with the boot following Welch’s try soon after the break but did convert Mayhew’s second touchdown of the game to make it 32-6.

Ollie Robinson’s try was converted by Thomas to reduce the deficit to 32-13 before tries from Hogg and two from Wilson were all converted by Gopperth to take the Falcons to a 53-13 win.
