Swindon were crowned champions after an impressive win at third- placed Drifters.

Eleven tries, including a hat trick for skipper Paul Wakefield, ensured the league title and dashed any hopes Drifters had of a play-off place.

Hooker Scott Chapman opened the scoring within three minutes of the kick off. The boot of Neil Maycock had gained good field position and from the line out, a catch and drive saw Chapman touch down.

A second try came within two minutes when a planned backs move saw centre Stuart Cock dance around the defence to score, and he added a similar try later in similar style.

From a scrum in centre field, a break down the blind side saw scrum half Connal Knott race away. He got within a couple of metres of the try line before drawing the covering defence and firing a great inside ball to wing Nathan Warren who touched down under the posts.

The skipper then got his first of the day as he spotted a gap and beat the covering defence to score. Maycock himself then got himself on the score sheet after quality work by the forwards had gained field position.

With Chapman's conversion Swindon led 39-0 at half time.

Warren opened up the scoring in the second half with his second of the game.

Swindon then used all three substitutes, including a first senior start at prop for 18-year-old Danny Way. An injury to Neil Maycock, however meant that Swindon had to play the final 25 minutes with 14 men.

The shortage made no difference and Wakefield was next to score. He secured his hat-trick ten minutes later after quality work from his pack. Young Way got the final score when he touched down from a metre out, taking three defenders with him.
