Back in August, our Mens 1st Team started playing pre-season matches at the Tonbridge Nines tournament securing 3 wins in this exciting and free flowing format of the game. Thursday 31st of August saw a 4:2 win against Durham University and on Saturday (2nd September) the team secured a 3:1 win against Canterbury at home. Coaching duties during much of pre-season have been led by Patrick Smith, Dom Bowden and Simon Faulkner, but the past two matches have seen the return of Glenn Kirkham to the group as he takes up his post of Head Coach.
