The young Saints racked up a half-century of points as they beat Ely 55-5 last Sunday with captain Jack Wilkie providing the first of five first-half tries.
Centre Bradley Young was the next player to touch down and he completed his brace after his side weathered a spell of Ely pressure.
Wilkie then matched that feat before Archie Ray finished a flowing move in the corner – and Saints continued to show their class in the second half.
Adam Watling added two further tries with Tom Hagger also getting in on the act before Ely claimed a consolation.

But Saints saved the best until last with a 15-player move being finished by Jake Sheppard.
Watling kicked three conversions for Saints with man-of-the-match Young adding the extras on two occasions.
