Wootton Bassett Colts stormed towards the top of the Dorset & Wilts Under 18 Merit Table with a clinical six-try 40-14 victory over North Dorset at Stoneover Lane.

The visitors dominated the first few minutes, but once Bassett got hold of the ball they cut loose.

Strong-running centre Stuart McInnes scored close to the posts, before full-back Duncan Fulling scythed through a fragile defence to score.

Scrum-half Charlie Jones and fly-half Daniel David directed the game at will.

And David took the opportunity to glide through a gap in midfield and set up rookie left wing Ashley Bradshaw, who danced through for another try, David adding his third conversion.

Bassett suffered three key injuries to backs in the second half, but captain Jon Aston produced a virtuoso performance at three different positions No 8, centre and fly-half claiming his first of the match with an interception effort.

Fulling gathered a delightful chip and chase for his second before being forced off.

And hooker Nick Moore claimed the final try.
