The dominance of the Old Brods pack was evident in the 22nd minute when a driving maul picked up pace and prop Benny Pritchett crashed over.

In the 33rd minute, a grubber kick from Chris Georgiou was collected by the fly-half and he scored under the posts for a 21-0 lead.

On the stroke of the break, Tom Ratcliffe slotted a penalty over following a high tackle to give his side a slimmer of hope.

It took Scarborough only four minutes to reduce the score line when the returning Aaron Thomson found space out wide and crashed over to leave his side trailing 21-10.
