He enjoyed a spectacular start to the following season with seven tries in five games, crossing against Slough, grabbing a double at Witney, adding another against Bletchley the following week and then scoring his sole hat-trick at Beaconsfield in mid-October.

He went over for another pair at home to Chipping Norton before Christmas and rounded off his most prolific campaign at Old Bath Road with a try in the crushing 64-12 win at Slough, as Rams went onto win Southern Counties North with 20 victories from their 22 games.

Andy helped himself to a double at Salisbury and added another try against Swanage & Wareham as Gensians made it back-to-back titles the following season, before going onto score his final tries some 18 months later when pressed into action at Chippenham following an injury crisis in September 2008.
