By David Haigh A converted try in the final minute saw Canterbury slip to a 12-10 National League 2 East defeat at home to Dorking.
The reverse was Canterbury's third in a row, and starts to raise questions about their ability to stay up this season. In a game dominated by defences they failed to make the most of their first-half opportunities and paid heavily as Dorking prop James Catton plunged over and Henry Anscombe kicked the match-winning goal.
On a day when a strong wind dictated tactics the city side could only find two first-half tries by wing Frank Morgan when their domination of territory and possession demanded more.
A precarious 10-point lead at the break was the result of some tenacious Dorking defending and Canterbury's own lack of composure.
