Devon under-20 player Fred Smale once again starred for OPMs as they beat bottom side Buckfastleigh 35-3.
Smale once again scored a hat-trick of tries and also added five conversions to finish the day with an impressive individual haul of 25 points.
He has now scored more than 20 tries this season and his side still have six games to go.
OPMs opened the scoring after just two minutes when Pete Regan cross for a try, which Smale converted.
Then Aaron Stapleton bagged the Old Boys’ second on 12 minutes, which again was converted by Smale.
The young full-back then got his first try on 19 minutes before he added a second six minutes before half-time as OPMs led 28-3.
Conditions did not help the visitors in the second half and they could only add one more try with Smale crossing in the 55th minute.
“It’s a bonus point win, so we are really happy,” said OPMs coach Rick Orkney.
