The boys put in a fantastic performance which was purely built around work ethic and discipline.
On paper this was a proper David v Goliath game and I don’t think many outside our circle would have predicted a win here.
Roll on Westcliff next week!
And the hard work begins again 🏉
All of our 1st XV fixtures are now on our website, including our pre season friendlies.
Some great matches to finally look forward too and our lovely lunches will of course be before each of our home matches
Our 1st XV Captain Sonny Gay on his way to scoring his try in our 20-19 win today.
A welcome return to lead the side to our first win in National 2 South
Massive effort by the whole squad and we move onto next week match away to Worthing RFC
The streak may be over but what a cracking run P54 W54 BP54 will take some beating. We will rise up next week when we return to Magnolia Road to take on London Irish Wild Geese. 3pm kick off
