They leapfrogged morning leaders Ely, who completed their fixtures the previous week, while Holt also won to seal second place and a play-off match.

Wymondham quickly moved ahead with tries from Charlie Delaney and Ethan Holmwood. West hit back before Wymondham scored the try of the game, with the ball going through several pairs of hands before Darren Wilson sprinted in from 40 metres. Luke Beales then dived into the corner, giving the visitors a comfortable half-time lead.

Wymondham went further ahead early in the second half through Eli Greaves but then lost Greaves to a yellow card and West scored three times out wide to reduce the arrears to 29-31. However Greaves scored a second try on his return to ease the nerves and Alex Kelsall then broke clear to score under the posts to end any doubts. Greaves was given a red card with two minutes to go following a second technical offence.
