Reader converted to send Storm in 24-6 up at the break. Within minutes of the restart the South Londoners increased their lead to leave no way back for Kingston.

Canadian winger Alex Peters planted the ball over the line. Terry Reader missed the conversion.

With the win secured Storm started to throw the ball about, and the adventurous approach was rewarded twice in the final ten minutes.
