NATIONAL 3 SOUTH WEST

OXFORD Harlequins could not convert pressure into points as they slipped to a 30-15 defeat at Brixham.

Quins dominated for long periods, but a late try and denied them even a bonus point.

Brixham wing Ben Lovell and Quins fly half Zac Norris traded penalties, while centre Mike Lee almost scored for the visitors.

The hosts led 10-3 at half-time, thanks to a 31st-minute try from scrum half Andy Sandercock, converted by Lovell.

Quins levelled just after the break when No 8 Seisoni Tupou sent wing Ed Yeats over for a debut try, Norris converting.

Brixham replied with tries from Jonny Brown and Sam Thomas, Lovell converting the latter for 22-10.

Yeats scored his second from a 75-metre interception effort on 70 minutes.

But Brixham wrapped it up when full back Tom Goodman went over and Lovell added a penalty.
