TADLEY RFC are six points clear at the top of the Berks, Bucks and Oxon Premier thanks to a 62-12 victory over visiting Aylesbury Athletic on Saturday.

The hosts did not make a particularly good start but gradually took control and went ahead with prop Duncan Ewart’s first try of the season.

Further scores from Charlie Cox, Pete Rosier and Jake Cottrell had the hosts 26-5 ahead at half-time, with Rob Murray scoring twice in the second half and Adam Stanley, Brin Filer, Gareth Cripps-Jones and Kyle Brewer completing the rout.

Next up for the league leaders is a trip to seventh-placed Chesham on Saturday.
