RACE NIGHT - WITH A DIFFERENCE
Many thanks to everybody that turned up last night for the Race Night Extravaganza. A good fun night was had by everyone and we managed to raise over £1,000 for club funds. Thanks to all the race and horse sponsors, to the tote crew, to the pantomime horses and the staff of The Sunshine Mountain Racecourse. Looking forward to next year's event already.

Sidcup U9s forming a guard of honour awaiting the arrival of the 1st XV...

We took a scaled down squad to this event, but I'm pleased to say that the performances given were full on.  After some very productive warm up drills during which our boys show-boated the skills they have developed so far this season, we were invited to take part in a match, as a warm to the forthcoming main event between our respective clubs' 1st XV league encounter.

This proved to be no under-card bout but a full-on heavy-weight championship event. What was supposed to be a 9 aside match was changed by our hosts to a "let everyone play free-for-all".  This meant that our 14 brave boys squared up to Colfes' bloated squad of 17.  We spent most of the first half camped out on their try line with only the decisions of the referee keeping us from scoring.  Harry Ilsley this season has become a consistent challenge to every referee that he faces but no one can question his enthusiasm.  We thought that we had opened the scoring after one of Luke's trade mark runs, only to find that he grounded the ball short on a poorly marked out pitch.  We continued with wave after wave of attack, hampered greatly by tricky handling conditions with a very slippery ball.  They had a lucky break towards the end of the first half, from which they seemed certain to score, but Joseph made up ground on their star player and made a crunching try-saving tackle.

In the second half, Old Colfes turned on the pressure, but we defended resolutely as a team.  Lots of try-saving tackles from all but notably, Toby Baldy, Yasin and Luke.

For me, stood on the touchline as a spectator for once, I was so proud to appreciate the advance that all our boys have made this season.  They have all come on so far that not only their parents but the whole club should be very proud of them.

1-2-3...

Sun 24 Jan 10
Sidcup Minis vs. Old Elthamians Minis

Just one report received so far, from a very proud Gluke...

We had a great morning, with good joint skill development, followed by a series of matches.  We started with a couple of mixed ability games where we ended up honours even.  Then followed by  two matches of selected teams, much against my better judgement.  The boys fought hard throughout all matches, they seem to begin to understand that even if they are hurt, they need to carry on for their team mates.  Blood was drawn for Sidcup without retreat, boys cried, boys were hurt, but every boy carried on, every boy stood up against the Kent champions and asked serious questions of our illustrious guests.

Mizen XV 29 - West XV 31
Thank you to everybody that took part in the Boxing Day charity game, whether you were playing, organising, supporting or just taking in the fresh air.

The game ended in a respectable 31-29 victory for the West XV but much more importantly, over £2,200 was raised through t-shirt sales, programme sales, the auction and general good natured giving. The proceeds will split evenly between the charities.

Many thanks once again from the Mizen and West families.

TRAINING 29 Dec
There will be training at the Club on Tuesday night (29th Dec) in preparation for the 1st XV match against Gravesend on Saturday 2 Jan 10. Selection will take place on Tuesday at 6.30pm and the team will be announced that evening. Training is open to all players as this is a combined session with Chis and Sid School. There will be no training on New Years Eve, pity!

League winners
Congratulations to Matt Proctor and the 4th XV who have won the Kent Met Conference division.Given the relative strengths and weaknesses of teams in the Kent Met leagues, the county have decided to split the season in two halves. As a result, the 4th XV have won their division for the first half of the season and will be promoted to the Kent Met Bishops Finger division for the second half of the season which stars next week. The revised fixtures for the 4th XV are on the 4th XV fixtures page.
