As they say in these parts "saturday's a Rugby day" and with a large crowd gathered on a rarified autumn day so the scene was set for the Blues to serve up a treat and they didn't disappoint!
Tupton came out of the blocks quickly and had scoredfive tries by the break to wrap up the bonus point in double quick time. With tries from Jordan White - his hundreth for the Club - in typical galloping style, Luke marshall, James Blakey, Sam "Bernard" Curry and a sniping Ben Cooper effort. Curry slotting four conversions saw Tupton turn around well clear of a spirited Ollerton who to their credit managed a couple of tries of their own.
HT: 33 - 12
The second half opened with both sides trading blows as ollerton refused to be lie down. Ultimately tries from White, Curry, Skipper Phil Harrison and the returning Kyle Huntingdon saw the Blues close the game out in comfortable style.
The victory saw Tupton return to the top of the League and next week face the testing trip to Skegness.
FT: 59 - 24
MOM: Jordan White - back to his very best
DOD: James Blakey - game time avoidance with another yellow to add to his collection
