Canterbury at the Double

TJs suffered their third defeat of the season and the second against league leaders Canterbury on Saturday. Despite taking an early lead after just a few minutes TJs could not keep Canterbury out with the slope and wind to the home side's advantage in the first half. The final score of 34 - 15 was a fair reflection but TJs should rue some missed touches and chances as the rest of the division closed the gap at the top.

Dorking are just 3 points behind now after beating London Iriash Amateurs 36 - 7 whilst Ampthill climbed to fourth and just 1 point further back after beating Tring 33 - 6. At the bottom Havant suprised Bracknell with a 23 - 15 home win, their first of the season.
