London Calling Time with a Sutton Win
Sutton & Epsom 12-10 Reeds Weybridge
As is the format of league rugby the fixtures conclude by playing the opposition first encountered on the opening day of the campaign. On that September afternoon bathed in glorious sunshine but disrupted by Rugby World Cup absentees, of the carousing rather than playing variety, Reeds Weybridge gained a 27-12 success. With both teams secure in the knowledge that they had retained their Regional 2 South East status for next time one might have expected a high-scoring denouement to the campaign.

It is with great sadness that we must report the passing of past Club President, Justin Thomas, aka the Earl of Nonsuch. He was 83, and had been in declining health, but he was a central figure in the Club, making a particular contribution by organising the 1980s beer festivals, which brought the Club much-needed and substantial revenue, which met the costs of flattening the 1st XV pitch, amongst other projects. He was selfless, and everything he did was for the benefit of the Club. His were the values of a bygone age – integrity, loyalty, trustworthiness, and honour. We shall miss him. His funeral service is at 11.30am on Thursday 2 May at St. Dunstan’s Church, Cheam. This will be followed by a private cremation and the wake will be held at the Club from approximately 1.00pm.
