LAUNCESTON fell short of obtaining a double against Bishop's Stortford in a volatile encounter.

The Cornish All Blacks could not repeat the success they'd had earlier in the season against Bishop's Stortford as they slipped to their second straight defeat whilst playing away in Hertfordshire. 

In what was a scrappy and fiery affair, the All Blacks had a few good moments in what was otherwise, a hard game for them due to a total of five sin-binnings, resulting in a period where they had to play for 20 minutes with only 12 men.
