My boys gave your boys one hell of a beating (excuse the slight over the topness, we don't win that often).
London Irish 6-9 Newcastle
London Irish (3) 6
Pens: Catt, Laidlaw
Newcastle (6) 9
Pens: Walder (3)
Dave Walder kicked three penalties as Newcastle pushed themselves further away from relegation trouble.
The Falcons fly-half traded a kick with Mike Catt in a tense first half at the Madejski Stadium.
And he landed further penalties in the 45th minute and again 10 minutes from time before Ross Laidlaw set up a tight finish with a 75th-minute effort.
The Exiles mounted a series of late attacks but two missed goal attempts from Laidlaw proved decisive.
