Luctonians move top alongside Clifton after 53-7 win

The home side scored nine tries in a match that saw them continue their winning streak against the 11th team.

The scoreboard got rolling just a minute into the match.

James Mear collected a loose ball from the kick-off and scored unchallenged, putting Luctonians ahead 5-0.

He was back over the whitewash ten minutes later, thanks to a quick tap penalty taken by Owen Randell, who set him up for his second try.

Mear completed his hat-trick in the 25th minute, with John Kelly's support play proving crucial.

Ben Link added another try from a trademark driving maul, with home debutant Ned Collins converting. 

This took the score to 22-0 at half-time, with Barnstaple failing to trouble Luctonians' defence.

The second half saw more of the same from Luctonians, with the team playing some superb running rugby.

Charlie Grimes, making his 150th National appearance, scored the first try of the second half after a strong run from John Kelly.

Ned Collins converted the difficult kick, extending the lead to 29-0.

Kelly then powered over for another try, which Collins again converted.

James Wheeler scored the try of the day, finishing off a flowing team move across the field.

Collins' conversion took the score to 43-0.

Ben Randell then added another try from a driving maul, pushing the score to 48-0.

With the crowd urging them on to surpass the 50-point mark, Owen Randell scored Luctonians' final try late in the game.

Barnstaple managed a consolation score through Cameron Johnson, who converted his own try for their only points of the match.

The final score was 53-7 in favour of Luctonians.

The win sees Luctonians move to the top of the league with Clifton.

They will look to continue their impressive form away at Exeter University next week.
