Basingstoke suffered a heavy defeat on this visit to Braywick Park, the side had great expectations following the magnificent display last week, but obviously not enough respect for the home side. Maidenhead on the other hand were fired up expecting a hard time from Basingstoke. With their backs on fire the home side racked up 8 tries to Basingstoke’s 1 from Grant. The only other points to Stoke was a penalty to Simon Humberstone leading to the full time score of:

Maidenhead 50 Basingstoke 8 pts
