A THREE-GAME losing streak came to an end for Nestlé Rowntree with a 22-17 victory over Old Otliensians at Mille Crux.

Influential skipper Dom O'Sullivan got Trees off to a great start when he charged over from a penalty after just three minutes.

Otliensians soon hit back with a try from their backs but further powerhouse efforts from back rows Brendan Gamble and O'Sullivan again took them clear.

John Atkin added two conversions and a penalty for a 22-5 half-time lead.

Otliensians fought back with two more tries from their backs as Nestlé put themselves under pressure with a second sin-binning for a petulant offence.

They were grateful to centre Alex Robertshaw who made a try-saving tackle in the last minute to preserve their lead.
