Tonbridge Juddians claimed their 11th win of the National League 2 East season with a 45-17 success over bottom-of-the-table North Walsham.

TJs came out of the blocks firing on all cylinders and three converted tries within the first 10 minutes gave them a 21-0 lead.

James Newey got the first with a fine finish from the centre, Duncan Tout added a second - and his first from the wing - before fellow winger Howard Packman added the third. Tom White converted all three scores but his afternoon ended early with a retiring with a thigh problem.

North Walsham rallied, but the gap in class was too great to bridge. Elliott Luke crashed over with the forwards for Judds’ fourth score and Tout added his second.

The second half opened with more of the same. Alex Reid rumbled over and Sam Evans added the extras before the hosts opened their account with a converted try.

Ryan Munnelly replied for the away side, scoring their seventh try on the hour with Evans converting, before two late home touchdowns.

Tonbridge stay sixth in the table and return to league action with the visit of leaders Esher on March 9 (3pm).
