Rosslyn Park slipped to their fourth home defeat of the season on Saturday 42-10 against newly-promoted Stourbridge, writes Bernard Wiggins.

The visitors racked up a 25-3 lead by half time, with three tries and two penalties to Park's solitary penalty from Matt Dowse.

As the second half opened, Park's Crawford Henderson found the space to go over in the corner. Dowse converted.

But Stourbridge increased their lead with another penalty and there was no way back for Park. Catch-up rugby seldom wins the day and Stourbridge scored two late tries to make the scoreline look worse than it really was.
