BEACONSFIELD RFC head coach Allan Greene has turned the gun on his players this week; he has described their three-figure walloping last Saturday as ‘the most humiliating experience’ of his life and claimed the players now had to win his respect back.

Beaconsfield weren’t expecting to beat London 1 North leaders Bury St Edmunds but, having scored three tries against them away from home, they were hoping to go down swinging at least and possibly steal a losing bonus point.

Instead, they got nothing but bruised pride from a grim 108-5 scoreline.

Greene said: “It was an appaling performance, the most humiliating experience of my life.

“They are obviously a very good side but our heads went down after ten minutes.

“It was embarrassing. It was the worst defeat in my whole rugby life and I was lost for words at half time and at full time.”

Bury ran in 15 tries to register what is comfortably their biggest winning margin of the season.

It might have been significantly more too – the referee made a mistake with his timekeeping and blew up 12 minutes early.

Greene said: “The U15s could have done better. It was that embarrassing that they were kicking off and doing two or three phases then scoring, but we refused to go into defensive platforms at times.

“I don’t know what the agenda was but this reflects on the club, on themselves and me as a head coach.

“People who have been following Beaconsfield have phoned me and asked what went on on Saturday?

“And I’ve told them what I’ve told you. It was men against boys. The players have let the club down and let themselves down.

“The respect they got from the other close games has been lost. They have to gain that respect back somehow.”

Greene isn’t expecting anything tomorrow though.

He said: “There is two games left and we can still get out of jail. Hopefully we can get something out of the game against Colchester but I can’t see it. They put 50 points past Chingford last week. I can’t see us getting anything there after seeing it on Saturday.”

Beaconsfield’s final chance of salvation will come at home to third-placed Letchworth a week tomorrow.

Greene said: “We will take stock at the end of the season and see where we are and in which league.

“If we stay up we need a few more players and the commitment has got to be the next level up because we have unavailable players all over the place.

“Training attendance has been appalling and we haven’t trained together for six to seven weeks.

“That result had been coming.”
