A Gwyn Parks penalty gave Barum a 12th-minute lead, and his conversion of Luke Berry’s try extended the advantage to 10-0 at the end of the first quarter.

Rams hit back, though, Adrian Jarvis improving a Stevie Bryant score, only for Parks to again be on target after scrum-half Jordan Petherbridge touched down for a brilliant score.

A penalty try for Rams cut the deficit to 17-14 at the break, and they moved in front early in the second period with unconverted tries from Connor Stapley and Jordan Souter.

Yet Barnstaple levelled matters shortly afterwards when some slick handling allowed Will Topps to cross under the posts, Parks making no mistake.

Rams made a decisive move, though, when Jarvis added the extras to tries from Tom Vooght and Olly Foxley, giving them a 14-point cushion.

Yet Barnstaple rallied and gained a deserved two bonus-points when Petherbridge darted over from close range following sustained pressure on the visitors’ line, Parks converting to reduce the final losing margin to just seven points.

Bishop’s Stortford 36-33 Rams (April 8, 2017)

The visitors put in a brave and entertaining showing before ultimately being edged out by the defending champions.

A Will Roberts try converted by Tom Banks gave Stortford an early lead, only for Rams to hit back with a Ben Henderson effort before Jacob Atkins converted his own fine score, coming after he collected his own chip ahead.

There had earlier been controversy with his first attempt, whereby the officials were unsure if it had cleared, ultimately ruling against the visitors.

Bishop’s bit back after Henderson was yellow-carded, Steve Ball going over at the back of a scrum before Nick Hankin showed his pace to cross under the posts, Banks’ conversion making it 19-14.

With Stevie Bryant also sin-binned later in the half, the hosts wrapped up their bonus-point and established a 14-point lead courtesy of Jimmy Rea’s converted try.

Henderson’s up-and-down afternoon continued in the second period as he crossed the whitewash again, Atkins on target with the boot, but Hankin’s interception try was also converted to make it 33-19.

It was now Banks’ turn to infringe and after he was carded, Conor Corrigan grabbed Rams’ fourth try of the afternoon which was brilliantly converted from the touchline by Atkins.

And with momentum behind them, the boys in blue levelled matters as Henderson’s brilliant break was finished off by Greg Illingworth, Atkins knocking over the conversion.

However, in a rip-roaring last five minutes, it was the home side who had the final say, Banks’ injury-time penalty clinching a nerve-jangling victory.

Chard 17-52 Rams (September 27, 2014)

Rams continued their perfect start to what would ultimately be a National Three South West title-winning season with an eight-try triumph in Somerset.

Things had begun badly for the visitors, though, as a Ben Johnson penalty followed by a converted Max Gosden score gave Chard a 10-0 advantage.

However, James Brooks added to tries from Gus Davies and Olly Poole before Polish interventional Michal Kruzycki went over to make it 19-10 at the interval.

Rams took total control with two tries in as many minutes early in the second period, Andy Amor and Ben Henderson the beneficiaries, and with Brooks converting the latter, they had a 21-point lead.

Davies and Poole both scored their second of the afternoon as the away side made it 45 points without reply, albeit Chard did then grab a second-half consolation through Ben May, Johnson again on target.

It was Rams, though, who scored the final points, man-of-the-match Azza Hopkins grabbing a deserved try to bring up the half-century before Brooks made it six conversions from eight attempts.

Rams 57-12 Oxford Harlequins (November 17, 2012)

A brilliant Josh Smith hat-trick led Rams to a comfortable nine-try success at Old Bath Road.

It was Smith who opened the scoring before Guy Swadling converted, only for Quins to hit back with a seven-pointer of their own courtesy of Harry Whittington.

Rams took a 19-7 lead at the break, though, Joe Duffelen going over in the corner before Smith grabbed his second which Swadling improved.

Two unconverted tried in six minutes after the break from Rudal Aiono and Andy Amor put Rams in control, albeit Quins’ scored their second of the afternoon when Ram Faramani dotted down at the back of a maul.

That was as good as it got for the Oxfordshire side, however, and with Swadling, debutant Tom Bryson, Smith and Duffelen all crossing the whitewash and the former converting all four for a personal points haul of 17, it was eventually a comfortable afternoon for the hosts.

Chippenham 24-45 Rams (September 20, 2008)

Rams picked up a win at the seventh attempt as they finally overcame bogey side Chippenham, and they did it in style with a thumping victory in Wiltshire to top South West One for the first time in their history.

Andy Fairweather, out of first-team rugby for more than 18 months, crossed twice in the first half for a 21-5 interval lead with Jez Flynn also scoring.

Peter Freeth, teenager Joe Duffelen, Tom Clare and Joao Costa made it an emphatic win with Spike Chandler landing five conversions.

Swindon 33-36 Rams (February 24, 2007)

Jez Flynn and Joao Costa both bagged braces as Rams picked up a sensational success at Swindon.

Greg Lynch and Milne got the other tries and Spike Chandler’s trio of conversions ultimately proved pivotal.

Rams 19-50 Reading Wanderers (September 9, 2000)

Tries from Nick Snowden, Tim Rees and Greg Way – the latter adding two conversions – were merely a consolation in a heavy home defeat.

Bridgwater & Albion 53-16 Rams (October 2, 1993)

The Somerset handed out a lesson as they swept aside Redingensians ruthlessly.

With several first-teamers unavailable, the visitors were 15-0 down after 10 minutes but hit back through a debut try from Akim Aloko and Graham Tibbett’s conversion and long-range penalty.

Tibbett added two more penalties in the second half, but Bridgwater finished with a flourish for a clear-cut victory.
