Following a cracking first half, the boys led 34-0.

On the final whistle, the score was 54-0, the team scoring bonus points for scoring 4+ tries.

This has boosted the team to 8th in the league table.

Next week, they face Long Buckby, who sit directly above ORFC in the table at 7th. This game will be an away game, so will be a tougher match for the lads, who are flying high following a successful streak.

Games take place at 2:15pm throughout the season, from late October until March. Follow ORFC on Facebook for more match information and how you can get involved.
