Saltash RFC are one game away from an appearance at Twickenham after beating Slough 73-22 at Keyham on Saturday in the National Vase quarter-final.

The Ashes will now face Old Cranleighans at home on Easter Saturday, March 31, and the winners will go to Twickenham for the final on May 6.

Saltash president Bill Ryan said: ’I have never seen a performance of this standard from Ashes, and I have seen many.

’Slough didn’t know what had hit them.’
