Hide AdRiley Dean, on a season-long loan at Fev, impressed throughout and touched down five minutes later. Brad Day and James Lockwood got in on the action before Dean added his second before half-time.
Rovers continued their rampant approach in the second half with Gale producing an acrobatic finish to make it 32-0 before McKenzie Yei extended the lead.
Josh Hardcastle and Caleb Aekins completed the scoring, while Chris Hankinson converted seven of the nine tries, as Fev started the season – and the Sean Long era – in style.
