A MIXED Colts squad survived the poor weather to defeat hosts Maidenhead 45-22 in an entertaining affair.

Rams took the lead as Jake Burton touched down, Sam Rodger with the extras before their opponents levelled.

A Josh Nunes brace gave the visitors breathing room, and further converted tries from Tom Knappman and Callum Mulvey made it 31-7 at the interval.

Maidenhead cut the deficit with two tries of their own, but seven-pointers from Ethan Brown and Jo Swift made the game safe before a late home consolation.

Five other Colts, meanwhile, helped Berkshire Under 18s to a convincing win against Somerset.

Having lost twice to Old Guildfordians earlier in the season, the U16s had more joy this time with a 38-19 away triumph.

They host Aylesbury today (1.15pm).

The two U15s sides went down to Maidenhead 50-14 and 24-12 respectively, with a trip to Marlow next up.

The U14s battled bravely before eventually going down 24-17 at Windsor, the side winning the second half 12-0 ahead of home (1pm) and away fixtures against High Wycombe today.

Finally, the U13s won their derby 8-2 at Reading.
