Tonbridge Juddians showed bottom-of-the-table Westcliff no mercy after a 55-3 thrashing in National League 2 East.

Five tries inside the first 20 minutes wrapped up the points against a side yet to win in 19 attempts this season, Luke Talbot opening the floodgates after one minute.

Bryan Hotston went over three minutes later and Ryan Taylor-Dennehy grabbed a brace after the ninth and 11th minutes - converting one of them.

Returnees Charlie Self and Rob Louw were involved in the fifth try, Self crossing the whitewash after 13 minutes with Taylor-Dennehy adding the extras.

Hugo Watson added his name to the scoresheet with the sixth try, Taylor-Dennehy again scoring from the tee, before Westcliff got what was to be their only points of the day with a penalty.

TJs initially struggled to impose themselves after the break as Westcliff tried everything to find a gap, but it couldn't last and Judds' Tom Kendrick and Duncan Tout both finished impressively from close range, White adding two points.

Watson was on hand to crash over on the left to for the ninth and final try with White adding the conversion.

Tonbridge, in eighth, visit league leaders Blackheath on Saturday.
