Cheetahs take all the points
A depleted Plymouth Prow Park Gladiators suffered a 59-31 defeat on the road against the Oxford Cheetahs.
With the Gladiators missing injured trio Ben Barker, Dan Thompson and Dan Gilkes, the task was always going to be hard against the high flying Cheetahs, who also took the aggregate bonus point and currently sit at the top of the Cab Direct Championship.
Skipper Kyle Howarth top scored with 10, backed by Richie Worrall with 9 and guest Jason Edwards 6 (paid 8).
