Competitive friendly to open our 40th Anniversary season

This was our first outing of the new season and a squad of 23 were ready and raring to go against last season's league champions Ellingham & Ringwood.

It was a closely fought affair with the visitors coming out on top.

Our try scorers were Peter Davies, following a sweet hand off, Nick Rundle with a 30 metre run in after a show and go and Patrick Fielder who put on the after burners from just inside our half after a pass from Harry Northway.

It was great to see two former Colts making their debuts Oli Branagan and George Smith. Oli having played for the Club since his Mini days.

Jack Wildman a former Mini and Junior player also made his first start for the 1st XV.

It was a warm welcome to Donald Wharton as well who made his debut after 4 years away from rugby
