East Grinstead delivered a dominant away performance to defeat Brighton 2’s 61–21, combining physicality up front with sharp, clinical finishing out wide. It was a statement win built on discipline, control, and relentless attacking intent.

Brighton started well on home soil, showing good energy and scoring three first-half tries to keep the early exchanges competitive. However, once East Grinstead settled, their structure and tempo began to tell. The visitors’ forwards took control of the set piece, while quick ball from the breakdown allowed the backs to stretch the defence repeatedly. By halftime, EG had raced into a commanding lead, turning defensive pressure into attacking opportunities with ruthless efficiency.

The second half was one-way traffic. East Grinstead tightened their defence and completely shut down Brighton’s attacking threat, dominating possession and territory. G’s ran in several more unanswered tries, showcasing excellent support play and composure near the line. Even without any conversions, their sheer scoring power proved unstoppable.

The final whistle confirmed a comprehensive 61–21 victory — an impressive all-round team effort marked by solid defence, creativity in attack, and control across the park. East Grinstead will look to carry that form into next weekend as their momentum continues to build.

In a fairytale twist of fortune, Brimo went from DoD last week to MoM this! Well done mate!!
