Safely into the play-offs then for the All Whites, and although the game stuttered at times they were never really in any danger of failing in their quest.

Coach Phil Burford had said before the game that he did not care how the game was won as long as it was won.

At times during this campaign the All Whites have had to win ugly, which shows their adaptability when it comes down to the final analysis.

This win guarantees them a trip to either Reading or Cheltenham on April 25 – it is more likely to be Reading.

They can go with confidence despite the tags of under dogs.

Walcot put up stiff resistance to a point, however once the White machine got into gear then the scoring opportunities came.

Nick Holt grabbed a hat-trick of tries, with Alex Lloyd and Mike Saxton each notching up further scores.

Yet again Andy Birkett ran the show with a commanding performance at fly half. Looking trimmer than he did earlier in the season, he gets better each week.

The All Whites gave front row starts to Nick Hammond and James Tichius, resting Dowrick and Robbie Roberts, and captain Simon Mabin popped up for a score near the end.

With the game already won by half time and a non-event as far as Walcot were concerned, things got a bit scrappy in the second half, with players going through the motions.

The All Whites play Brixham a week tomorrow at Rackerhayes, kick-off 2.30pm.
