Last Saturday Old Reigatian hosted Sidcup at Park Lane. With the drop in temperature overnight the pitch was still frozen two hours before kick off but as Kick Off became closer the pitch became playable and fortunately the game was able to go ahead.
This Saturday Old Reigatian hosted Sutton & Epsom. Following on from an incredibly close game when the Reigate team travelled to S&E earlier in the season when OR’s won 43-48 it is always going to be a competitive and hard fought game.

This Saturday Old Reigatians travelled to South East London to play Eltham based Old Colfeians. Always a tough ground to visit and on their day a tough team to beat.

Saturday Old Reigatian hosted Battersea Ironsides 1st & 3rd XV’s in a home double header. With OR’s 2nd XV kicking off at 13:30 and the 1st XV’s kicking off at 14:00.
Last Saturday Old Reigatian travelled to League Leaders Beckenham RFC. OR’s have struggled recently with injuries and unavailability’s and this week proved to be no different. With ten Regular 1st XV players either injured or unavailable, the trip to South London was going to test the strength in depth, but also provide an opportunity for younger lads to get a taste of 1st XV Rugby and learn what is required at this level.
Saturday Old Reigatian travelled north of the River into Essex to play Thurrock. The Essex team haven’t had a great start to the season which made them a potential banana skin.

So, this season’s OR 2nd XV / Battersea Ironside trilogy concluded with a resounding victory for the visitors. No excuses – we were outplayed, rather like Exeter at Toulouse, by a superior side, who were able to edge up through the gears every time they needed to pull away from us.

On Saturday Old Reigatian travelled to Sidcup to play their last league fixture of the season. Sidcup who started the season with fixture defeats on the trot have managed to turn their season around and going into this fixture hadn’t lost since December winning their last nine fixtures. Old Reigatian could finish a clear third with a Win if Medway lost to expected Champions Old Alleynians.
As the final scenes of the afternoon’s proceedings were playing out, with Harry Smith and Aran Courtney Walker having combined to score one final try and complete the rout of Cobham, thoughts turned to reflect on THE performance [save the best until last] of the season, and also the journey that has been made by this whole group from the early signs of life against Dorking, in September, to the formed beast that is the Old Reigatian 2nd XV.
