Sportsdesk • Published 23 Jan 2012 09:30 0 Comments

ROBBIE Stapley's injury-time try earned Redingensians a valuable bonus point in a hard-earned 24-8 victory at Oxford Harlequins.

The visitors faced the wind in the first half and a 5-3 scoreline in their favour was the basis of win.

Although Oxford took the lead in the second period, Gensians hit back with tries from Shaun Brown, Dom Gosling and Stapley.

Reading Abbey put in a superb performance to beat second-placed Cheltenham 29-17 in in South West One East.

Tom Waterhouse scored twice for Abbey and Gavin Dampies and Keith Wilkinson also touched down for the home side.

Abbey are now level on 36 points with Reading RFC, who were beaten 33-23 by Marlow at the weekend.
