Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union
Guernsey eased their relegation fears by beating fellow strugglers Westcliff 33-22 in National Three London.
Matt Hema scored two tries and there was one each for Glen Walters, Dave Davison and Malcolm Barnes in the bonus point victory at Footes Lane.
The victory put Guernsey one point behind Westcliff and lifted them to third-from-bottom of the table.
Guernsey must avoid finishing in the bottom three if they are to retain their status for a third season.
