Malone retained their Division 1B status in some style, defeating Corinthians by 52-18.
The visitors made the brighter start in the opening 10 minutes and showed well at the set piece. But Malone had way to much firepower and caused the Corinthian defence all sorts of problems.
The half time score line of 15-6 still left Malone some work to do, the visitors to their credit reduced the arrears to 15-13 and it looked like it could go either way.
However the home side displayed some superb running rugby, great continuity play and the never say die attitude and ran in some suburb tries to finish the game with a 51-18 scoreline.
