BEST FOOT FORWARD: Winchester's Simon Rogers takes apenalty. Order no: 6284264
Tottonians 36-20 victory over rivals Winchester was set up with a first half of total dominance.
An early Mike Searle run set up Dave Wood who drew the defence away and popped the perfect pass to Joe Locke to score.
Fly half Woods then worked his magic again with a nice run to set up winger Joe Jarvis. Robbie Searle converted the try.
Another blistering run from Joe Locke ended with his inside pass to Searle to add the third try.
Totts' fourth try was another flowing move, as Dave Brandes set up a good ball for Mike Searle, whose break allowed Jarvis a 50 metre run.
He fed a neat pass to Woods, who found skipper James Angove to power through the defence, prior to offloading to scrum half Paul Goodall to score.

Searle again converted the score. Early in the second half, a quick penalty by Mike Searle saw him offload to Woods, who drew the cover again to give Joe Locke his second of the day.
More inventive work from Woods and Ben Pearce in keeping the ball alive allowed Locke to get his hat-trick.
Winchester came back and, to their credit, scored three bulldozing tries through Rob Prestige, Olley Smith and Lloyd Staszkiewicz to make the score more respectable.
Trojans came home with a hard fought 20-5 victory over Camberley.
Trojans wanted to play the rugby, but the hosts seemed more interested in a physical battle.
Tries for Rich Batley, Gordon Ritzan and Aaron Surtees, with a penalty and conversion by Ben Collins gave coach Pete Surtees the result he wanted.
Afterwards, Surtees praised his side's discipline.
"We played the rugby and they ended up with exactly what they got - absolutely nothing," he said.
"We have a couple of weeks to set things up for the crunch game against Old Wellingtons.
"We are up there with a chance, these lads have worked hard this season but we need to stay focused."
Gosport & Fareham overcame a big Weybridge Vandals side with tries from Jamie Daly, Andy Notley and Wes Dugan.
Rugby director Simon Ansell said: "No one could complain about our effort today, some of the young lads have now gained the confidence to compete in this league.
"We set out a game plan and everyone stuck to it to the letter."
