St jacques 14, Beeches 50
ST JACQUES suffered their second defeat on the bounce as they lost by a hefty margin to Beeches.

Saints had been enjoying a great time in the league and were second in the table.

But all their good work is in danger of being undone after they lost by two points at Jersey Wanderers a couple of weeks ago and then at the hands of Beeches at the KGV on Saturday.

Their cause was not helped by the fact that six of their eight forwards were at Twickenham to watch England lose to Australia.

‘The nature of this defeat at home is a concern as I would never have envisaged such a wide margin of victory for Beeches, despite the fact we were missing a lot of key players,’ said St Jacques coach Chris Griffiths.

‘I believe we do have strength in depth at this club, but some of those players who were given a chance to step up just didn’t do it on the day.

‘Overall this season I am still more disappointed that we managed to let the Wanderers game slip through our fingers two weeks ago as we would still be in the top two in the league despite this defeat, but we move on and look forward to the next two league games before Christmas and have to put things right.’
