A good all round performance saw Bath Saracens RFC defeat Wootton Bassett 30-5 and secure all five points from their latest Dorset & Wilts 2 North league match.
Saracens' Sulis Club pitch was unplayable due to midweek use but neighbours Old Culverhaysians kindly agreed to the use of their ground at Odd Down.
The home side started strongly and full-back Owen Swabey was on hand in support to touch down after a break by left-wing Andy Winchcombe.
Right-wing Pete Baldwin added a second try midway through the half but the visitors hit back shortly after with an unconverted score of their own.
Sarries finished the half strongly, though, and a long period of pressure led to flanker Graham Johnstone breaking through a tackle and touching down to open up a 15-5 lead at the break.
The second half was delayed for a long period due to a serious injury to a visiting forward but when play resumed, and with light fading fast, Sarries added two further tries through centres Morgan Davies and Nick Williams.
Davies also kicked a penalty and a conversion to complete the scoring.
Sarries will hope to maintain their current good form when they travel to league leaders Fairford on Saturday.
