Close, but no cigar.

Having played Cambridge on tour a couple of years ago, and losing narrowly, we were up for setting things straight.

A delayed kick off meant the match started at 11:30. From the off, Cambridge took it to us. Some very strong forwards bashed it up and scored an early try due to our mistakes and their physicality.

Some more tries for the reds and injuries for us put us on the back foot going into the second half.

The second half started much better and although it was a weaker opposition than in the previous 30 minutes, there was some good play in both the forwards and backs. Good tries from Jonny, Simmo, Bean and Chris. The first of many we hope! We really fought back well to pull our selves back up from the 22-0 first half performance

With missed opportunities, needless mistakes and the fact that we were outplayed by a very strong team in the first half, but some promising play in the second half ended the game at
22-20. Well played.

We're off!

So, the season is underway, and a good start against a weaker than usual Barnet. Unfortunately, the match was abandoned with 15 minutes left to play, due to an injury to a Barnet player.

The action started at 11:00 am, and some good open play led to an early try in the corner for Tom Simmons. A good start for us.

Further Tries, included a fantastic long distance effort from Bean and a classic inside centre's try from Daniel Roberts.

More soild forward play and flair from the backs secured the 34-0 victory.

We would like to welcome some new players to the squad. Cameron, Chris and Tom have settled into the team well and we hope to see them performing at our club.

The start of the season

The season official begins on the 2nd of September which is this coming sun day. Each player will need to bring two passport photos of them selves as well as a parent or guardian who can pay their fee's and sign various forms.

From then on it's just sheer hard rugby.

Touch rugby competition

After two dissapointing weeks in the competion with two important defeats, things were looking down. However, this weeks win against Shag Nasties has pulled the team from the bottom of the table and in to the plate play offs. Some great play and handling despite the weather. Some great scores from Tom Ansell, Jonny Wheeler, Jack Anthony, Danny Roberts and Dave Hill. Great vision from Lewis and Alex helped to seal a good victory for us 11-8. Team Sharp next so a plate spot looks likely.

Well done all who played (and connor)
