Charlie Fysh was West’s man of the match after giving an outstanding performance at No 8.

Team manager Nigel Richardson said: “We need to get back to the basics we’ve done in training and learn from the second-half performance and effort we showed.”

Elsewhere in Eastern Counties One, Crusaders took a big step towards securing their safety by beating Southwold 36-0 with tries by Peter Blinkhorn, Callum Slaughter (two) and full-back Keysall.

In Division Two, Thetford maintained their title push by thrashing Sawston 67-0 while Swaffham won 35-9 at Mistley.
