A Happy Friday to you all and for the first time in recent memory - it is not raining! Amazing!
We have an action-packed weekend of awesome rugby action for you to serve up - so let's whet those appetites with these massive morsels!

Saturday sees the 1st XV welcome Dorking to Beverley Meads for a top of the table clash! Rochford 100 and Guernsey are locked at the top spot with 88 points and in 3rd are the mighty Dons with 80. Dorking lie in 4th with 58 points - so tit is imperative that the Dons keep pushing hard against the top 2. It is worth noting that both Dorking and Wimbledon have a game in hand against the top 2 - so every point counts. Kick off is at 2.30pm and it should be a real cracker of a match. If the sun stays out - can you think of a better way to spend your Saturday? Obviously the club house will have the 6N matches on so I guess we will see you tomorrow then.

Earlier in the day the 3rd XV will play those chaps from down the road with a midday kick off - also at home. I am sure we all enjoy watching Epsom and Sutton.... I mean Sutton and Epsom take a good thrashing from the boys in claret and blue!

Those haggard old dogs of the Strollers 4th XV have a very youthful feel to them this weekend but they have a changed fixture! Instead of playing Merton - they will now face Old Ruts 3rd XV at home with a 1pm kick off.

Sunday sees the fab faces of the Womens XV take on Hammersmith and Fulham away with a 2.30pm kick off, so if you are in that region - take a stroll over to the pitches and cheer them on.

The team sheets as I have them are below.

No further news this Friday - but let's hope the weather holds and good luck to all wearing the colours!

Big Love
