Brook showed plenty of spirit before losing out to the unbeaten Easts side.

After an even first 20 minutes, two tries in a minute and then a further score on the stroke of half-time sealed the game.

Junction Fencing man-of-the-match Mike Ledger, Jon Hale, Mark Gibson and, until he was injured, Craig Lyon were the pick for Brook with Matty Leigh impressing in his first outing for the team.
