Rugby Club St. Gallen Bishops defeated 11:6 by Albaladejo Rugby Club Lausanne

In a mistake-riddled match, Bishops suffered their first defeat of the 2019/20 season at the hands of a determined Albaladejo Rugby Club.

The organisation, cohesion and rhythm that has been a corner-stone of a strong season opening was perhaps left on the bus or back in St. Gallen as Bishops struggled to build and maintain pressure. With Alba dominating line-outs and being faster to the break down, it was clear they were the hungrier team on the day and the teams went into the half time break with the scoreline at 6:6.

The 2nd half mirrored the first with Alba applying pressure and Bishops unable to get into the opposition 22 for any sustained attacks. A Bishops' defensive error allowed the home team to dot down in the corner and the score remained 11:6 until the full-time whistle blew.
