Southern Counties North match report

Oxford Harlequins lost three players due to injury as they went down 36-0 away to new leaders Beaconsfield.

Centre Matt Hardy (neck) and lock forward Doug Griffin (knee) departed before half-time when Quins trailed 23-0.

To add to their woes, Quins lost centre Jamie Cope with a knee injury just after the break. But to their credit, some outstanding defence, in which No 8 Paul Nye stood out, restricted Beaconsfield to a converted try and two penalties in the second half.
