 BBC - Essex - Sport - Barking 15-41 Redruth
Barking put a penalty into touch in the Redruth 22, won the ball and drove for the line, releasing it to Mounga Kafatolu who was stopped just short, but Eaton was on hand to pick up the ball and score, Bryan adding the extra points.
Five minutes later Redruth felt they had scored again but the referee ruled a double movement after a try-saving tackle by Ben Montgomery and Barking were reprieved for a while.
They launched a series of attacks at the Redruth line, but each time they lost possession at a crucial moment and Redruth were able to run in two more tries against a disillusioned and fast-tiring defence for a slightly-flattering 41-15 victory that leaves Barking rooted to the foot of the table.
