BICESTER ended their home campaign with a 59-20 victory over Stow-in-the-Wold.

Tom Miles converted his own try to get the hosts up and running in the Southern Counties North encounter.

But unconverted tries from Archie Hayward and James Holmes put Stow 10-7 ahead.

Bicester had Dan Spencer sinbinned, but they soon regained the advantage when Dave Hampton and Mike Harris went over.

Miles converted both tries to make it 28-10 at the break.

Holmes crossed for Stow, but Bicester further cemented their lead when Miles converted his own try, before Peter Tarrega and Ryan Gallacher dived over.

Holmes once again touched down for the visitors, but Bicester’s Tom Horwood scored two tries late on.

Alchester came from behind to beat Slough 31-18 in the Berks, Bucks & Oxon Premier Division.

Despite an Adam Thompson try, they trailed 15-7 at the break and had Robin Tyreman in the sin-bin.

Adam White also saw yellow, but Matt Flegg, Luke Evans, Sean Cooke and Thompson crossed to seal victory.

Their safety had already been confirmed after Chipping Norton and Slough were both deducted 25 points for falsifying a result.
