Cranleigh relinquished their grip at the top of Surrey 2 following a 34-28 home defeat against third-placed Old Blues on Saturday.

Cranleigh were caught cold by Old Blues in the first 15 minutes, finding themselves 14-0 down.

After only three minutes the Old Blues’ fly half saw a large gap between the Cranleigh centres and sprinted through to score under the posts. This was duly converted.

After 14 minutes, from a line out, Old Blues expertly drove a maul from the 22 with very little opposition, scoring half way out and converting.

Cranleigh then came to life and attacked and after 20 minutes found a gap in Old Blues’ centres and scored.

This was duly converted but, from a line out, Old Blues repeated another excellent maul to score, giving them a 21-7 lead at half-time.

Cranleigh gave the supporters some joy after only four minutes of the second half
