Rejuvenated Rochford stormed to their second win of the season in a bottom-of-the-table clash against Brentwood.
The visitors had no answer to Rochford's forwards, who dominated line-out, loose and tight behind the inspirational display of skipper Jon Brown, who made a timely return from injury.
That allowed the backs to shine and classy centre Mark Thomson, also returning, was able to unleash wingers Ryan Dann and Chris Knight.
Dann and Thomson both got on the scoresheet with tries, while Tom Ashton added a penalty and conversion.
Ironically, it was Brentwood who started the better, but they ran into the brick wall of a home defence which has been in tremendous form.
After that, Rochford picked up the pace with Simon Broad and Ryan Stephenson taking control of the scrums.
