Saffron Walden Rugby Club Thirds Scorpions 34
Upper Clapton 24
The Scorpions started their league campaign with a fine win over a tough Upper Clapton team at the weekend.
The hosts could not pull away in the points stake as Clapton kept clawing their way back into the game.
Sean Murphy's boys started brightly, with Ossie Esterhuizen going over fairly early on a feat he repeated twice more throughout the match.
His central partner Ian Lyons scored the try of the match after some fine work from the forwards.
