Bradford Salem suffered a 38-3 defeat as they conceded five tries against mid-table Scarborough at Shay Lane, the home side’s only points coming from the boot of fly half Matt Booth, who kicked an early penalty.

The result didn’t reflect the closeness of the contest but the visiting backs were far more clinical.

The Salem pack matched the Scarborough forwards, with open-side flanker Damien Pearson and acting skipper and No 8 Kris Falwasser again in outstanding form.
