The winners accumulated their points from three tries and three conversions to Royals’ two tries, one conversion and one penalty. 

At the breather, Royal had a slight lead of 10 points to 7. 

Surely the difference between the two equally balanced sides, was the Thomian playmaker Naveen Henakankanamge, who had an outstanding game, scoring two tries with his powerful runs down the flank, and the last one at the death. 

For Royal flyhalf Orvin Askey shone with two tries.
