European Challenge Cup Sunday round up
12 October 2008, 6:35 pm
Saracens continued the English successes in the European Challenge Cup with a clinical 53-3 win over French side Mont de Marsan at Vicarage Road.
The Guinness Premiership outfit join London Irish, Northampton, Newcastle and Worcester in recording convincing victories on the opening weekend. 

Only Bristol's heavy loss in Montpellier on Friday night prevented an English clean sweep. 

Saracens ran in seven tries against Mont de Marsan and Eddie Jones' men were never in trouble after a lightning start to Pool 6. 

England under 20 star wing Noah Cato was over the try-line within the opening 60 seconds, and the hosts had secured the bonus-point inside 45 minutes. 

Scrum-half Neil de Kock was the next player on to the score-sheet before a penalty try and Chris Wyles added to the visitors' woes as they went into the halftime break 25-3 down. 

Second half tries by Andy Saull and Ben Skirving and a second penalty try extended Saracens' lead while 16 points from the boot of Jackson rounded off a comfortable afternoon. 

In Pool 4, Overmach Parma caused a surprise and fought off a strong second-half fightback from Brive to win 34-29 while Bourgoin recorded a 21-10 away triumph at Bucuresti in Pool 3.
