LONDON Irish launched their Green King IPA Championship campaign with an encouraging 19-0 home win against Doncaster Knights as they attempt to bounce back to the Premiership at the first attempt.

Tries from Tom Fowlie and Aseli Tikoirotuma plus three penalties from the boot of new signing Tommy Bell saw Nick Kennedy's Exiles secure a comfortable win at Madejski Stadium.

And our photographer, David Moore, was on hand once again to capture the highlights of the opening-day victory.

Nevertheless, Kennedy admitted there is still plenty of room for improvement from his Exiles players ahead of Saturday home clash against Richmond at Madejski Stadium (3pm ko).
