THURROCK were beaten for the third time in succession on Saturday, losing 34-14 at Ruislip.

The defeat kept T’s sixth in the London One North standings.

And the setback frustrated Thurrock’s head coach David Mobbs-Smith.

“I’m very disappointed with the result, especially after the good performance the week before” said Mobbs-Smith.

“Our away record just isn’t good enough and we must address this.

“We will continue to work hard at areas we are falling short on and the team will keep growing together.

“But we are a young team that must learn from these things.”
