Marlow run riot in 58-35 try-fest against Harlequins as Windsor suffer heavy defeat

Marlow are up to seventh in Regional 2 Thames Division after winning a try-fest at bottom of the table Oxford Harlequins 2nds on Saturday.

Spectators were treated to a fantastic display of attacking rugby from both teams, but it was Marlow who emerged victories by 58-35.

In a match that mirrored the first match between the two sides at Riverwoods back in September (53-22), Marlow once again ran in more than 50 points.

The result lifts Marlow above Harpenden to seventh in the table. It’s also the side’s fifth win in seven matches after back-to-back losses to the division’s front runners Brunel University and Beaconsfield.

Marlow will now look to put further pressure on the teams above them when they host Grasshoppers after the Christmas and New Year break on January 10.

Windsor weren’t able to pull off a shock result in their final match of 2025 as they were comfortably beaten 57-12 away by second placed Beaconsfield.

After producing their most complete performance of the season in last week’s 43-28 win over Aylesbury, Windsor were brought back down to earth by this nine-try defeat.

The visitors were up against it at Windsor End by half-time, when they trailed 26-5 and things didn’t improve much in the second period as the hosts ran in 31 more points.

The tries were shared around by Beaconsfield as Tyson Peters, Declan McCormack, Benjamin Fallowfield, Rhys Amos (two), Braiden Broughan, Stanley Ridout, Isaac Greene, Joe Thomas all touched down with Freddie Hooper converting six of them.

The result leaves Windsor 10th in the table. They return to action after the break away to eighth placed Harpenden.
