Dudley Kingswinford completed the league season with their 100 per cent record intact after chalking up their 26th win from 26 games.

DK — who had already won the Midlands One (West) title and with it promotion earlier this month — put the league season to bed with another sensational display, this time a 68-19 victory over Worcester Wanderers.

Stefan Shillingford had a game to remember, bagging five tries while Stefan Thorp claimed a second half hat-trick of touchdowns. Gareth Bown enjoyed another productive day with nine conversions as DK finished on 126 points in the league.

DK averaged 46 points per game after racking up an astonishing 1,214 points while conceding just 324. They also claimed 22 bonus points during the season.

Shillingford finished the campaign with a tally of 29 tries while prop Thorp registered an incredible 16 — more than wingers James Jefferson and Matt Farrington. Bown ended the season as the league's top scorer after amassing 308 points.

Against Worcester, Jon Higgins and Pete Knight were the other try scorers while Worcester got on the scoresheet thanks to efforts from Mike James, Thomas Richmond and Simon James. Jon Tideswell received a yellow card midway through the first half but it mattered little as DK rolled over their visitors with the minimum of fuss.
