Stevenage II 0 Royston 6
DESPITE knocking Stevenage's second team for six, Royston skipper Andy Drage called his team's performance "extremely poor".
Fortunately for Royston, Stevenage were far worse.
Royston rose to second in the league following this comprehensive victory, which began with an early goal from Owen Russell.

The opener was quickly followed up by James Yarrow, who stepped up from defence for the second.
Two more goals from Russell and one apiece from Nick Ross and Nick Hurd completed the rout, but the team is aware it can improve after losing its shape in the second half.

Royston IV 2 Letchworth IV 0
ROYSTON continued their good form with victory over a stronger than expected Letchworth side.
Keith Markham delivered a man-of-the-match performance, making the first goal for Colin Bateman and then taking his own mid-way through the second half.
Royston continue to push for the top, but with players out through injury and unavailability, this week's game at Harpenden could be a very different story.
Royston V 1 Letchworth V 2
A GOOD performance from Royston was not enough to prise any points away from Letchworth.
Despite the away team going ahead courtesy of an early goal, Royston came back well and just before half-time Nigel Phillips scored a fine goal from open play to make it all square.
But Letchworth grabbed a late goal, giving Royston no time to respond.
