CAPTAIN Max Hayman touched down in victories against Sedgley Park and Blackheath to push his seasonal National One tally to 11 in as many games – meaning the hooker continues to head the way leading into December!

Zach Clow’s effort against Club lifts him into second with seven, while the club’s record try-scorer Robbie Stapley extended his lead with two more in November, the No. 8 touching down against Park and Blackheath.

Tomek Pozniak’s fine debut campaign at Old Bath Road has him on six in 11 starts, while another summer signing, Morgan MacRae, took his tally to five with the bonus-point score against Blackheath.

Flanker Tom Vooght is up to three for the season – and 59 in total – after touching down against Tigers, while Army ace Solodrau Radianirova picked up his first couple for the club when crossing versus Blackheath and Rotherham Titans in the past two matches.

Nile Dacres’ effort at home to Sedgley doubled his Rams’ tally, moving him level for the campaign with Ryan Lomas, Radianirova and Dan Swain, while in the same game there was a first of the term for Bath loanee Ioan Emanuel and an old favourite, the penalty try.

James McRae got off the mark in defeat at Rotherham while Luke Graham and Olise Monye are the two others to have crossed the whitewash, leaving the Berkshire men with 55 in their 11 games to date – an average of five per game which would be the second-highest in the club’s history. The 5.54 from 2022/23 remains the pace-setter.

The forwards/backs split stands at 34-21 (including penalty try) after the opening three months, with tries coming right across the park.
