Trees played better in the second half, going close numerous times, but two breaks from defence led to two more tries.

The visitors’ efforts were rewarded with tries from the impressive Callum Houston and Ben Morrison, with Dave Harder converting both.

However, Yarnbury came back with two late tries.
