The Antonians took major honours until the midway of the second half of the game but Royal were clinical in their approach during the final quarter as they held on to a 19-14 lead at halftime.

Royal completed their mission to end up second in the points table of Segment 'A' with a tally of seven tries, five conversions and a penalty.
