CLIPSTONE brought Borrowash Victoria back to earth with a bump, giving the Vics a 9-1 thrashing.

The Cobras lived up to their nickname with a deadly display that included a Julian Topliss hat-trick.

Mitch Williams and Ashley Way each scored two, while Aiden Blewitt and Robbie McNicholas also netted.
