With the expert kicking of Alex Thomson at full back Leek looked confident.
However Stoke were not to be intimidated and in quick reply scored two unconverted tries.
With leek having superior numbers to call on and the experience of Robinson & Dunleavey Leek were not to be outplayed, with the try's coming from Sam Booth, Rob Hicks, Dave Dunleavey, Alex Thomson(2), Dave Harvey, another from Jason Carter(3) and the expert kicking of Thomson, Leek recorded their highest winning margin for a long time.
