Nestle Rowntree RUFC lost 19-3 away to a more youthful and energetic Old Modernians third team who have recruited a good batch of local students.
The Leeds side showed their extra pace to score the opening try after a quickly taken lineout on the halfway line.
'Trees responded with good pressure creating a penalty for full back John Atkin who then came close to giving them a half-time lead when he broke and chipped the full back but the ball just ran over the deadball line before he reached it.
Nestle again looked as though they were about to take the lead early in the second half, but having created an overlap, the final pass was intercepted and Modernians raced over at the other end.
The result was sealed when Modernians' backs scored a third try as Trees tired in the final quarter.
