Saracens then went through a nightmare few minutes as Bournville scored seven goals without reply to go 15-9 ahead at the break.

Bournville stretched their lead by a further three goals at the start of the second quarter and were content to frustrate Saracens.

The lead was stretched to 29-17 by half-time with their accurate shooting proving crucial.

The third quarter was a disaster for Saracens who only managed three goals.

Bournville extended the advantage to 43-20 and, despite a close fourth quarter, saw the game out.
