Gravesend ensured they would top London 1 South at the mid-season break with a 17-5 win at Old Elthamians on Saturday.

They were 5-0 ahead within a minute when Tom Bishop gathered a cross kick to score but the hosts were level on 11 minutes.

Harris added a second score for Gs and Curley added a third try, which Dalton converted, to make it 17-5 at the break.

The second half was a dull affair with both sides bogged down in the midfield mudbath and there was no further scoring.
