Wimbledon away to Ruislip in this London League One encounter was an interesting prospect with both teams placed in the middle of the league, just one point apart after 14 games.
Against the wind and up the slope in the first half, Wimbledon found the going hard. Ruislip went ahead 8-0 with a try and a penalty. But a try from Rob Whirledge with a Richard Perkins penalty meant the teams turned around at 8-8.
From the restart, intelligent Wimbledon kicking with the wind kept Ruislip trapped in their own half and applied the screw. Todd Puller scored a try. Perkins converted to pull Wimbledon ahead 15-8.
Then a flowing move put away left wing Greg Williams for a touch down under the Ruislip posts, duly converted by Perkins moving the score on to 22-8 where it stayed to full time.
Wimbledon's last London One League game for this season is at home on Saturday against Cheshunt at Beverley Meads.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
