A tale of two distinctly different halves is the only way to describe this clash.

Teachers did everything in the beginning, as they ran up 45 points, largely through tremendous work on behalf of fly-half Chris Naylor.

The best break occurred after 25 minutes, when Naylor flicked an unorthodox `between the legs' pass to Ross Webber who split the defence, handing over to Nathan Browne to score a try wide of the uprights.

Browne later had a 70-yard run before the half to score under the posts.

Naylor, Webber, Anthony Cupidor, Freedom Burrows and Heath Robinson each added a try each, while Browne ended up with two tries and five conversions.

Meanwhile, the second-half witnessed Renegades taking complete control of the forward play, but failing to utilise the possession in terms of putting points on the board.

Of course, Teachers' defence had a great deal to do with the lack of final penetration on behalf of the Renegades.

They did, however, get a score on the board when Gary Cooper went over the try line in the 35th minute and the score was converted.

Mariners 12 Police 20 This eagerly awaited clash had the favourites, Mariners, on the hop for much of the first period.

Police's pack was well served by the leadership of Sean Field Lament, who produced a brilliant interpassing movement with Gareth Davies to crash over for an unconverted try. A few minutes later Stuart Thompson scored a try that was converted by Anderson.

With the Mariners up 12-5 it was a see-saw battle until 20 minutes when Jon Williams crashed over for an unconverted try. A few minutes later Davis got his second try, which was converted by Alan Oliver.

A minor altercation just before the final whistle had Stuart Thompson in the `sin bin', but this did not prevent Alan Oliver popping over a penalty to finish the scoring.
