NEIGHBOURS Richmond put a dent in Rosslyn Park's hopes of being in the National Three (South) promotion picture with a 30-16 win in Saturday's derby.
Four storming first-half tries from Tom Gregory, Matt Hart, Alistair Simmie and Colin O'Keefe, two converted by Hart, gave Park too much of a mountain to climb in the second-half.
All Park had to show for their first-half efforts was two Dylan Pugh penalties as they trailed 27-6 at the break.
Billy O'Driscoll gave them hope with a try early in the second-half, which Pugh converted.
But Hart added another penalty to his first-half kick, meaning the game was over by the time Pugh kicked his third penalty.
