Cup Winners Again
So we finish the season on a high with more silverware, convincing winners over four of the top five Sussex sides (including the top two) and the second best side in Essex, scoring 26 tries in the process. Report and pictures.
Congratulations also to the U16s who helped the U17 side win the Plate.
A great way to end the Fifteens season
The Bromley match was another excellent game of entertaining rugby, once it got going, and a fine performance against good opposition. A great way to end the 15-a-side season. Well done everyone! Report.

Tony will be arranging another Paintball Day at Newington on Sunday 22 June. Get all that exam stress out of your system! Please let Alan or Tony have a £10 deposit as soon as possible if you want to go. You'll get the deposit back if we don't get the numbers.
From the other side
Tom captured this beautifully surreal image on Wednesday night. Jig is usually a blur to us, but this is what it must be like to be Jig: with everyone else a blur as he rips past them!

Ton up
Hove 19 Medway 34 Congratulations lads on your 100th win in all competitions since U13 — less than three and a half seasons.
Plate
Winners at the Golden Boot Festival
After losing their final pool game to a last minute try and conversion to go out of the Golden Boot competition, the U16s had to make do with the plate, winning the final with a last-minute try of their own from in-form wing Tom Bourne. Report and pictures, and video clip.
U16s
win the Kent Tens
The U16s went to Beckenham and won their pool matches against Sidcup and Ashford, took Dover to the cleaners in the quarter final, beat Westcombe Park in the semi with the last play of the match, and then won the cup final against arch-rivals Old Elthamians 3-0 with a last-minute drop-goal from Richard Verrall. Their supporters will need to lie down for a week and re-grow some fingernails. Congratulations to the lads and to coach Tony Ellis. Report and pictures.
