However despite a good performance, the hosts were comprehensively beaten.
Ashbridge said: “Sudbury came to fight and the referee allowed them to do so.”
Roosters’ tries were scored by Sam Peel, Stefan Galluchi and Max Dominy, with Ashbridge kicking two goals and one from Lewis Hall completed the scoring.
Roosters are in action this Saturday when they feature in the East of England 9’s at West Norfolk RFC.
