ST IVES were awarded an 8-0 walkover win after hosts Stamford were unable to field a full front row for the scheduled league fixture on Saturday.
League rules meant that the visitors had to be awarded the game before kick-off, although the two sides still played the game, but as a friendly, after some last-minute Ives additions to the Stamford pack, allowing for contested scrums.
And a 41-12 victory was still achieved by Ives, as they warmed up for this weekend’s home clash against local rivals St Neots.
James Wood scored a treble of tries in the first half, with another coming from Josh Meadows and Jamie Noble successfully converting two of the four scores to make it 24-0 in Ives’ favour at the interval
