Following the deluge of the previous week, the sun shone at Park Lane, giving opportunity for an entertaining game of rugby, which is what spectators and players alike were afforded. Although the weather was fine, a picnic was never on the cards, and the question would be whether the previous two victories had been a false dawn or the start of our journey forwards.
Saturday Old Reigatian 1st XV hosted second in the league Battersea Ironsides. Both teams had showed good form the previous week with Reigatian beating local rivals Cobham and Battersea beating top of the league Beckenham. So, everything looked set for a thrilling game at Park Lane.

The AXV returned to league duty at Park Lane on Saturday after last week’s friendly, which psychologically set the team up for a gutsy, hard-fought victory against Tiffinians. Whilst we have not hit swagger status, the 60 points scored last time out definitely saw our heads up and more grit in our team performance – this was as well, as T’s had come to play rugby!
