Rugby Union: Bees racked up the points with a display of exciting, open running rugby at Wagon Lane to move clear at the top of North East Two.

Inter-play between forwards and backs was at a premium as the Bees ran in tries from all over the pitch.

Both forwards and backs ran the ball well, finding gaps and space easily. Excellent handling provided 15 tries, with the highlight being prop Andy Smith's 30-metre burst to touch down.

Further tries came from Joe Nau (3), Tom Rhodes (3), Chris Hala'uifa (3), Mark Coultas (2), Asa Firth, Ben Greaves and John Potter. Rhodes also kicked 11 convertions.

Bees will now be full of confidence ahead of their title decider at home to Sheffield on April 5.
