CRANLEIGH 20 bt WARLINGHAM 0

Warlingham went into the game against bottom-of-the-table Cranleigh on Saturday following four straight league defeats and desperate to put an end to their appalling run in London Division Four SW.

Warlingham started brightly and in the first 20 minutes both sides exchanged penalty kick attempts.

In the set pieces, Warlingham looked more comfortable and this was reflected in sound scrummaging and lineout work. But basic errors cost Warlingham in the second half and the visitors capitalised, running in three tries.

The only bright spots for Warlingham were the outstanding tackling of Mick Hayes and direct running of Tony Knapton.
