STOW-on-the-Wold Rugby Club earned another Southern Counties North bonuspoint win, triumphing 31-25 at Wallingford.

The Cotswold outfit are fifth in the table with four victories from six fixtures ahead of Saturday’s home game with leaders Milton Keynes (2.30pm).

Wallingford went ahead with a penalty but Stow’s George Roddan replied with a try and Nick Cafearo converted.

Stow pressed hard and Cafearo scored in the corner but could not add the extras.

Scrum-half Dave Lane then took advantage of a defensive hole to touch down under the posts, leaving Cafearo an easy conversion. Wallingford scored on the half-time whistle to trail 19-8 at the break.

In the second period, Roddan ran in from halfway and Cafearo darted over under the posts before converting.

But Stow lost their grip, conceding three more tries.
