Some scintillating three quarter play set the tone as the ball was moved wide to stretch the visitors defence. Zak Harwood proved a constant threat in midfield, alongside powerful fly half Tom Boreham, attracting the attentions of the Tor defenders before play was switched across field to allow Matt Thresher to run in the opening try.

Kiddie Sheikh made a welcome return at scrum half and soon exploited the narrow side with a trademark sniping run to unleash Iain Parris to score under the posts. Some powerful forward drives then resulted in number 8 Dan Cousineau touching down from a blind side scrum break.

Tor had their moments in attack but couldn’t find the cutting edge in the face of some dedicated Avon tackling with Rhys Van Den Handel and Sam Book leading the way up front. It was no surprise when a sweeping move along the back line saw Thresher finish off the bonus point try. Perhaps the most impressive score though came when, in an unaccustomed role on the wing for Dan Griffin, Avon's fabulous Frenchman fizzed fully fifty metres down the flank, finishing fine move with flair to add a 5th try before half time.

The points avalanche continued immediately after the interval as another flowing move ended with the ever-dangerous Jake Coates touching down in the corner. Boreham nonchalantly converted from the touchline via the crossbar to add to his 5 successful conversions.

With Tor threatening in occasional forays up field, Avon responded well to their pressure, although they didn’t help their cause with some needlessly conceded penalties. Before long though, Thresher completed his hat-trick to pick up the man-of-the-match award after cutting a great line from an Ian Burnell burst.

Avon brought up the half century with a well-deserved try from Harwood and welcomed back Ben May and Jonny Griffiths to join the action off the bench. With the game petering out, Tor were rewarded for their great spirit and endeavours with a well-taken consolation try at the end to have the final word.
