BARNES’ early reign as league leaders was ended at The Gables where Westcliff pulled off a surprising 13-12 win with tries by Sam Brown and Jack Jones, who also kicked a crucial penalty.
Guernsey take over at the top, beating Sidcup 17-38 at Crescent Farm.
Barnes now drop back to third as Tring, with a bonus-point 16-32 win away at Southend Saxons, move into second spot.
Saxons are still looking for not only their first win but their first points.
They have not even had a losing bonus point to show for their efforts.
