SALISBURY Rugby Club celebrated long into the night on Saturday after a memorable 60-21 success at High Wycombe ensured they escaped relegation from the Powergen South West Division Two (East) by the slenderest of margins.
Despite the handsome victory against their already-relegated opponents, there were tense moments after the final whistle as the club waited to hear the outcome of other matches affecting the relegation places.
Rivals Wimborne secured their own safety by beating Frome, but a defeat for Stow-on-the-Wold condemned them to the drop - but only on points difference from the Castle Road club.
