Replacements James Mitchell and Marchant also added a conversion each.
Owen, who started in the back row alongside Tigers colleague Charlie Beckett, grabbed the second score of the night as he picked up a loose Italian lineout to dart over, while Farnworth rounded the scoring off with five minutes to go in his first appearance at this level.
