It was a disappointing day for Vagabonds as they went down heavily at Hoylake in South Lancashire/Cheshire Division One.
Vagas took an early 12-0 lead after tries from Rob Martin and Ean Mousely, plus a conversion from Jonny Beckley.
Hoylake hit back, however, to lead 19-12 at half-time.
A second half try from Jason Bowden did little to help Vagas’ cause as the home side ran riot.
