Eleven tries - eight of them in the second half - saw Hoppers rack up a cricket score against bottom-of-the-table Scunthorpe to end their two-game losing run, writes PAUL OUTHWAITE.
"That was a really good second half," said head coach Dan Orwin. "The best I have ever seen us play.
"We talked at halftime about playing in the right areas of the pitch and keeping our shape, and we stepped up.
"Scunthorpe are not a terrible side, but we kept them quiet."
Man of the match was Ed Keohane, moved to fly-half and employing his big boot to devastating effect, and Orwin said: "He managed the game really well - it's what we've been missing."
