South West 2 East: Oxford Harlequins lost their long unbeaten record when they crashed 31-18 away to their nearest rivals, Maidenhead.
Not only was it Quins' first loss of the season, but the result also ended their remarkable record of 13 successive away league wins.
Playing into a cold wind, the much-changed Quins side trailed 17-3 at the break, after their mistakes were punished by four penalties and a try from Maidenhead.
In the second half, Quins hit back through a determined run by left wing Elio Recchia, but Maidenhead increased their lead with a converted try to make it 24-8.
Quins attacked relentlessly and were rewarded with tries from full back Dave Boreham and Nutt, who finished off a move with a scything run.
Right on time, Quins conceded a converted try.
Question: How can a team win the second half of a game 31-0 and still lose?
Answer: By conceding 36 points without reply in the first half!
