The 1st XV make it 13 unbeaten games on the bounce by seeing off visitors Billingham 38-5.
Whilst the majority of the games in Division 3 North were postponed due to poor weather, the AGP meant the 1st XV’s fixture against Billingham could go ahead. Hoppers’ dominant set piece, coupled with the strength from the bench, (particularly Matt Frings, whose 28 minute cameo earned him MotM) meant that the lads ran in six tries to claim another set of maximum points in the league.
