It wasn't until the 27th minute when the first score came in the league match at Rectory Field as Tom Bishop grounded.

Dave Dorton slotted over a penalty but before the break Gs conceded a try and held a slender 11-5 half-time lead.

The second half was a different story for the Gs as they turned on the style.

Bishop raced over for his and Gravesend's second try, a penalty at the other end reduced the deficit, but the hosts were soon back on the attack.

Ashley Moorey (pictured) touched down twice, Jamie Harris got one, Nathan Lines scored the sixth try and Gray added the final score, shortly after a 'Stoke consolation, in a comfortable home win.

Kent Cup holders Gravesend were back on home turf the following day and six more tries followed for the hosts.

Dorton added eight points with his boot, with tries coming from Curley (2), Junior Rocket, Whitehead (2) and a penalty try.
