Other touchdowns were provided by Morrison, Gaunt and Neave. Gaunt added five goals to complete the scoring.

Buffs batter the All Blacks
The Buffs completed a league double against New Earswick All Blacks with an emphatic 36-8 away victory.
Again, the superior fitness was on show as the Buffaloes led 24-0 at the break and took the foot of the gas in the second half as they had already accomplished a match-defining performance in the first forty minutes. Try scorers in North Yorkshire were Chitiyo (2) Ballantyne (2) Harman and Booth with Gaunt kicking 6 goals.
A full report will soon be available on the Bramley Buffaloes website.
This week’s opponents
The rampaging Buffaloes host Elland/Greetland at the West Leeds Rugby Union ground this Saturda at 2.30pm and will be looking to avenge their only loss of the season so far.
The 18-36 defeat will also be remembered for the unsporting excesses of the hosts coaching staff so revenge would be sweet for the Bramley boys.
