A Tale of Two Kickers
Sutton & Epsom 21-17 Old Colfeians
Old Colfeians arrived at Rugby Lane as the form team in the league with five victories on the spin. Meanwhile a resurgent Sutton & Epsom had won all their three November fixtures and were equally confident. Both squads were hit by injuries and illness with S&E giving a debut to Matt Symonds on the wing.

Many congratulations to the Sutton & Epsom Women for winning the Championship 2 South East title and we’ll see you all in September for our Championship 1 debut!
S&E Women 20-43 Wimbledon Women
Wimbledon on the Up and Up
Sutton & Epsom had enjoyed a comfortable 26-0 triumph at Beverley Meads in November. However, they were only too aware that that result bore no resemblance to the recent form of the Dons. In 2023 they have taken the scalps of not only Hammersmith & Fulham last week but also the Guildford Gazelles and most notably Battersea Ironsides. After 80 minutes of thrilling rugby and an eleven-try bonanza Wimbledon returned to SW20 with the points after an exhilarating 43-20 triumph.
On Saturday we welcomed David Thurtell of the Wooden Spoon charity to the club who presented us with the official plaque to announce the club as official charity partners.
