Well done to all the players for a superb game on Sunday. Edwin summed it up rather nicely “Congratulations, well done and thanks for today. A superb achievement getting 20 players together. And how well they played. Up against some very well fed Ruislip boys, our defence was highly commendable. With a ball as slippery as a bar of soap, we played some excellent rugby and with a couple of better decisions, would have won. Great potential going forward for the remainder of the season.”

Thank you to everyone who helped in the kitchen and the wonderful Bolognese prepared by Haydn “Ramsey” Lewis. Full match report available.

The good news is that Ruislip had to give us a walkover in the cup (playing u19s) so we’re through to round 2. This means an away game against Camberley on 14th October. They knocked out Ealing 27-5 so it will be a tough game.

Recruitment

Good to see the new boys playing for us on Sunday. We still need more players so please encourage friends to come along. Roya and Wendy have organised a poster campaign to spread the news. Harrison and Henry are currently in competition to get the most new players this season!
