In an evening opening period it was the hosts who took the lead as George Bottomley powered over from close range, Matt Cox with the extras before Oakmedians levelled with a converted try.

Bottomley doubled his tally before the break, Cox again on target, and Rams then pushed on ruthlessly after the break.

Nick Dumi crossed eight minutes into the second stanza, Henry Cook following, and with Cox adding a couple more conversions, the home side had a commanding lead.

Further seven-pointers came from Jordan Navetta, Dumi, Cox, Teagan Strydom and Elliott Jones in a contest which was played in outstanding spirit, Oakmedians then proving themselves a class act in adding to the vocal home support in Rams’ National One 30-19 victory against Rotherham Titans.

The Colts Extra As host Banbury this afternoon (1.30pm) on the first team pitch, with the winner finishing third in OBB Division Two – success for the Extras would mean they finish highest of all second-string sides in the competition.

The Under 16s host Marlow at Reading University (10am), while the U15s, whose Development XV were edged out 26-24 at Newbury, head to Henley.

There were two defeats for the U14s at Farnham (36-19 and 29-0) ahead of their trip to Ruislip, with the U13s also going down in a brace of games against North Dorset (seven tries to five and 8-1).

Today also sees the first weekend of Rams’ Minis festival with 100s of kids set to enjoy some action at Old Bath Road!
