SLOUGH have recorded a first win in 2016 after a 47-10 home victory against Hungerford on Saturday.

Head coach Darran Brown had admitted that The Greenies needed to put points on the board to avoid a relegation scrap later on in the season.

They went out to fend off the relegation blues and impressed in a seven-try win over their Berkshire rivals at Tamblyn Fields.

The BBO Premier fixture was effectively over as a contest by half-time as Slough led 33-0.

The Greenies, determined to make an impact on the second half of the season, opened the scoring almost immediately as the ball was offloaded to Robbie Morrison who charged over the line within minutes of kick-off.

The conversion was unfortunately missed, however a forceful attack saw Joe Sole cross the line to score moments later. This time a good boot from Liam Coffey Barratt saw the extras sail between the posts.

A clean catch from the restart saw Slough launch another efficient attack taking Ruairi O'Connor over the line to score the third try. Barratt again kicking the extras.

The home team's onslaught continued with Morrison selling a fantastic dummy before running straight through the Hungerford defence. The score was converted for a 26-0 lead.

A number of offsides at the ruck meant that the next few attacks came to nothing whilst another down the wing and involving Morrison looked promising but ended in touch.

Slough then took advantage of a penalty to kick to the corner. The ensuing lineout saw debutant Cameron Ruddock cross the whitewash. His try was successfully converted by Barratt to close the first half 33-0.

The second period commenced with a Ruddock and Barratt combination to add another seven points to the scoreboard within minutes.

Next, a high tackle saw The Greenies take advantage of a disorganised Hungerford defence to gain 40m and offload to captain Max Miles to score. Barratt added the conversion.

With 47 unanswered points the hosts' defence began to slacken. Hungerford sensed this and took advantage to run in two tries in quick succession, both unconverted.

The win sees Slough move up to eighth place in the table and seven points clear of the relegation positions.

Brown will now prepare his team for the re-arranged fixture away to sixth-placed Chipping Norton this Saturday (2.30pm).
