The Misfits started strong with Hamilton-James making an immediate impact on debut with a try brace in the first half to leave it at 12-0 at the break, despite injuries to Anderson and McGrath leading to a reshuffle in the pack.
Clifton continued to dominate into the second half with a steady stream of tries.
The wind proved the main obstacle but Lang did well to add all but two conversions. An all round scrappy affair but discipline won the day for the Clifton men.
