SENIOR RUGBY
The 1XV had a daunting fixture away at Haywards Heath on Saturday. The squad determined to get the season back on track after a couple of hard results. Read all about it in the match report here: Match report

Next weekend is a full one, with our 1’s travelling to Uckfield in another big local derby. The 2’s are hosting Crawley at HQ. Your support would be much appreciated. Games kick off at 2.30 - See you there.

On Sunday, our Women travel to Farnham hoping to keep their fine league form going. I also attach a link here to some brilliant pics from Ben taken during their last game against Havant. Thank you Ben: Havant pics

AGE GROUP RUGBY
What a disappointment as the weather intervened across Sussex again, with all training and festivals cancelled. We are praying that the forecast improves soon!

Our U16 girls had the only Sunday game that wasn’t cancelled. They recorded a handsome win at Heathfield. Well played girls.

Massive congratulations to Imogen, Chloe and Emily who played for Sussex at the weekend in an U18’s fixture. It was a 35 - 15 loss against a strong Surrey side, but we are very proud girls!!
