 'asps climbed into third and brought   
 a European place a step njarit with an

 The hosts gave their backs the freedom 
 of the park; Josh Lewsey, Paul Sampson,

 but for Alex King's early inaccuracies 
 with the boot before Ginny Logan took  
 over to notch three conversions and    
 three penalties in a runaway success.

 before half-time, with the Irish wing

 Bidford, safe from automatic demotion, 
 will now chase London Scottish hard in 
 the hope of avoiding the necessity of  
 a play-off to keep their elite status.
