In front of a large and vocal home crowd and following some recent epics between the sides, it was Dave Cox’s men who took an early lead through George Bottomley.

They extended their advantage with a fantastic breakaway try, Jordan Navetta feeding Gouws to dot down before the former added the extras.

Windsor rallied and applied nearly 20 minutes off pressure before finally crossing before the interval.

Within five minutes of the restart Gouws and Navetta combined for another seven-points, although Windsor stayed alive with a try of their own.

An unfortunate neck injury to Gouws with a quarter-of-an-hour remaining meant a delay as he was put on a spinal board and then taken to hospital.

Thankfully due to the excellent work of paramedic Grant Strydom and the medical staff from both clubs, a sore and bruised Josh has since been released and is on the road to recovery.

After play resumed, the standard remained high but there was no further score, Rams leap-frogging their opponents to take the silver medals.

Unbeaten Chinnor were crowned champions to end a two-year title streak for Rams.

There were mixed results for the Under 16s, who lost 34-7 to a Newbury side who have been undefeated since U13s.

However, they beat Witney 26-15 ahead of home games versus Olney and Bicester today (both 11am).

The U15s visit Henley and Reading off the back of double success against Chipping Norton (50-5) and Tadley (14-12).

There were 36-12 and 26-17 reverses for the U14s at Henley and Marlborough.

Elsewhere, the U13s lost four tries to three at Reading Abbey, but toppled Swindon 11-3.

They have two away games with Amersham & Chiltern today.

Finally, the U8-10s sent 10 teams to the Beaconsfield Minis festival where they showed class in both their conduct and performances.
