MAIDENHEAD churned out another result In South West Division 2 (East) on Saturday, beating struggling Grove 19-13.
The game seemed to be in the bag by half-time but Maids completely switched off after the break and almost found themselves on the losing end of a battling comeback.
Coach Tony Brooks said: “It’s almost as if we get to 19 points and think ‘Game over’.
“It was one-way traffic in the first half. We scored 19 points without reply.
“Then all of a sudden the game changed.
“They stepped up a gear and we didn’t. And that just isn’t good enough.
“The players don’t seem to know what the problem is. I have asked them that question.
“But I think there are several reasons for it and some of those are being put right this week.”
One thing is certain, if Maids take their foot off the pedal against unbeaten league leaders Oxford Harlequins at Braywick on Saturday, (kick-off 2.15pm) they are going to get beaten.
However, Brooks saw one potential advantage in a tightly contested match, saying: “We’re going to have to be on top of our form
“But in a top-of-table clash we’re unlikely to get 19 points ahead.”
