Tigers community manager Scott Clarke said: “Newbury were worthy winners but all four teams did themselves proud with their performances over the weekend.

“Although the final score of 50-21 was a convincing one for Newbury, it was a competitive and exciting finale to the day’s events. In the other match, Lutterworth took a 17-point lead against Kenilworth but a spirited second-half performance brought the score back to 17-14 in an entertaining game.

“I know all of the players will treasure running out at Welford Road for the final fixtures.

“We are very grateful for the support of Tony Pitcher and Sanne Group in making it such a big weekend for the four teams. Thank you also to the four teams for their enthusiastic support.”

All of the teams were inspired to produce their best rugby after parading in front of a 10,000-strong Welford Road crowd before the England Saxons match on Friday evening.
