S&ERFC v Battersea Ironsides (04.01.25)

Page 1


Welcome to S&ERFC

Welcome to S&ERFC’s match-day programme, now produced in digital format.

The warmest of welcomes from S&ERFC to all those participating in or attending this match in the Regional 2 South East league.

The 2024-25 season brings a range of fixtures, several with old friends and rivals, others with new clubs whom we have not met at 1st XV level before. But wherever they hail from, and whoever they are, our opponents and all visitors will always be warmly greeted at Rugby Lane.

Last season proved challenging, particularly for the men’s 1st XV. Ultimately, they finished in a comfortable eighth place, with the women’s 1st XV going one better, and finishing seventh in Championship South 1. At our level, league rugby is highly competitive, and is bound to become more so as the season progresses.

The Minis and Juniors section, both male and female, continue to thrive. The legacy of Jamie Paxton, whose vision and foresight led to the founding of this section, is there to be marvelled at every Sunday, and the vibrancy and enthusiasm these young players (and their parents!) generate gives the Club a real ‘buzz’.

We are also delighted to welcome back our friends from the visually impaired sector, whose skill, dedication, and evident enjoyment prove (if proof were needed) that rugby really is a game for all.

No club of our size and status could survive in the modern age without the support of sponsors. Some of our sponsors are represented by advertisements in this programme. Foremost amongst them is our headline sponsor: MB Associates, the company whose Managing Director is the redoubtable Monica Bradley. The Club is very grateful to all its sponsors for their continuing support – and I take the opportunity to remind all members that sponsorship is a two-way street: the more business Club members give to our sponsors (often on advantageous terms), the more that entrenches the relationship between the sponsors and the Club – to the advantage of both.

So, welcome once again. Let season 2024-25 be a season to remember at S&ERFC – for all the right reasons!

Headline sponsor’s message

We are again delighted to be supporting S&ERFC in our eighth year as the headline sponsor.

Our ongoing partnership with the club is a constant source of pride, both for myself and my team. To be a part of something that is such a cornerstone of the local community and is so inclusive, on so many different levels, is indeed a real privilege.

As a business based in Cheam Village which has traded in Surrey for nearly twentyfive years, we share many of S&ERFC’s values. Therefore, it’s a great pleasure to be involved again this year, both from a sponsorship perspective but also with members of our staff yet again playing for some of the senior teams.

Wishing everyone at the club all the best for the 2024-25 season, and of course enjoying some outstanding rugby in the coming months!

Our approach to branding and marketing communications is quite straightforward. We help our clients gain the competitive edge by applying logic and strong creative ideas to get the right messages, to the right people, at the right times.

Sutton through the Ages

The Sutton & Epsom club – just Sutton until the reorganisation of London in 1971, is one of the oldest clubs in England. The original club was formed in 1871, the year of the RFU’s foundation, and although Sutton’s forefathers disbanded a few years later, many of those pioneers joined forces with rugby enthusiasts in the Sutton Bicycle Club to bring rugby back to Sutton. And that is the club we know today. It was the autumn of 1880 and the club first took the field under the banner of Sutton Bicycle Club (Football Section) – hence the iconic and much-loved symbol of the pennyfarthing.

And Sutton Football Club, as it soon became known, were quick to stamp their name on the football map, not only in the local area, but throughout the metropolis. Under the initial leadership of Yorkshireman Herbert Hooper, and later boosted by the arrival of international forwards Alfred Allport and George Fraser (the former Sutton born and bred) and a glittering array of backs, Sutton became a major force, capable of meeting and beating the likes of Saracens, Wasps and London Welsh, and even crossing the English Channel to beat the French Champions Stade Français in Paris. Thousands would flock to Grove Road, where a Sutton defeat was something of a rarity. Especially prized was the Surrey Challenge Cup, in which Sutton enjoyed a four-year stretch without defeat and once conceded not a single point in their triumphant cup run. One triumph coincided with the Victorian Era Exhibition at Earls Court in 1901, and there on a plinth in the Great Hall was the Surrey Cup itself, with Sutton’s name engraved upon it, alongside the Calcutta Cup recently won by England.

The Great War brought an end to Sutton’s dominance on the field – but not the growth of the club itself. The present Cuddington Court clubhouse was purchased in 1937 and the club resolutely stayed afloat during the war years, taking on the All Black and Wallaby inspired Royal Australian and New Zealand Services XV stationed in England. The president of the RFU opened the War Memorial stand in 1961 and within 30 years additional pitches had been purchased at Priest Hill, just half a mile away, reflecting the growth in playing numbers.

By 1987 leagues were upon us and it was a proud boast that Sutton, who had been placed in level five London One, retained their place in the top regional division for fully 18 years. There was also another period of dominance in the revived Surrey Cup, with seven cup triumphs in eleven appearances in the final. By 2019 Sutton had advanced to the National League Division Two. However, the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction and the club are now plying their trade in Regional 2 South East this season.

Such is the vibrant state of Sutton rugby today that it can now claim the distinction of being one of the biggest clubs in the country, with over 2,000 playing and social members. It can put up to 25 sides in the field every weekend, with minis from U5 to U11, youth sides for boys and girls from U12 to U18, a flourishing Womens XV, competing in the Women’s Championship South 1, and five men’s sides, including the flagship 1st XV, whose achievements over the past few seasons have been among the finest in a history spanning 140 years.

We are reminded of those words of another Sutton scribe, who wrote: “We have in our hands a precious legacy… it isn’t ours to keep, but it is something to make the most of when it is our turn and cherish, sustain and strengthen for future generations.”

Focus on Battersea Ironsides

Sutton & Epsom Connection

Sutton & Epsom playing against Battersea Ironsides may be in its league infancy but already this fixture has supplied three excellent contests. The results have been evenly spread with a Sutton win followed by a Battersea success and, most recently, a draw.

Earlier This Season at Garratt Green: Battersea Ironsides 19 Sutton & Epsom 19

Battersea Ironsides were guilty of failing to convert their early pressure into points. Referee Howe twice awarding the Black & Whites penalties within five metres of their own line as staunch defence gained its rewards. The early profligacy from the hosts was punished when Freddy Bunting opened the scoring for the visitors with a couple of penalties. Despite being on the wrong side of possession and territory statistics the visitors were leading by 6-0 on the half hour. Once again the Ironsides appeared to have squandered an excellent chance to open their account but on this occasion they were brought back for a penalty of their own. The green shirts piled in under the Black & White’s posts before releasing the backs and winger Ewan Magee scored in the corner. Charles Stuart regally converted from the touchline to take a 7-6 lead into the break.

The sides turned around and for the second period the hosts would enjoy not only the topographical advantage but also any favours from the wind. There was the possibility that the cultured boot of Charles Stuart might be the significant factor for the remainder of the contest and that Sutton’s superb defensive resolve might be tested in extremis during the second half. After 15 minutes it took an astutely angled grubber from Freddy Bunting that bounced up perfectly for winger Austin Bell to break the deadlock. It was a classic example of sporting vision, that priceless ability to see in a split second what others do not in order to create the sublime moment. A majestic touchline conversion by Bunting bisected the uprights and S&E led 13-7.

The Ironsides replied as they forced S&E to their line with a probing kick leading to a line out ten metres from the whitewash. Clean ball and a well executed catch and drive saw the hosts trundle irresistibly over the line for their second try. Charles Stuart’s conversation saw the restoration of their lead at 14-13. The Black & Whites owed their chance to recapture the lead to a thunderous tackle from flanker Ben Tame from the restart. There was a moment of confusion when the height of the Bunting kick exceeded the diminutive stature of the Battersea uprights but Sutton & Epsom now inched ahead by 16-14. Moments later an Ironside queried Mr Howe’s interpretation of the laws in a tone that was not appreciated and the referee ushered the defenders 10 metres back. If loose lips sink ships then loquacious rugby players cost three points. Freddy Bunting added a fourth penalty to his tally for Sutton to lead 19-14 with a dozen minutes to go plus the extras for stoppages.

Battersea now went in search of points. As the game entered time added on it was one-way traffic in favour of Battersea. The visitors were magnificent in defence and thought they had earned a turnover but the hosts were awarded the scrum. Closer and closer the Garratt Park pack advanced to the posts. Avoiding the risk of being held up over the line, with admirable patience under the circumstances, they finally forced their way over by the right hand upright. 19 all and the conversion was a mere formality for a kicker of Stuart’s stature. However, Charles Stuart, endured the type of unexpected misfortune that would have been familiar to not only Aeschylus but also his historical namesake as the conversion was missed. Shortly afterwards the referee concluded proceedings and the sides shared the points for a 19-19 draw.

The Rapid Round Up

Round 12: 14th December 2024

Battersea Ironsides 24 Reeds Weybridge 21

The Ironsides gained revenge for their only loss of the season so far in the league opener against Reeds. The visitors opened the scoring when winger Jack Bennett took advantage of Pete Cole’s interception. Battersea replied through centre Huw Roberts before lock Cameron Green restored Reeds’ lead. Equanimity for the crowd was restored by the interval thanks to a try from a line out by Battersea making it 14-14. In this fluctuating fixture the hosts snatched a 19-14 advantage but Rhys Day edged RW ahead with the visitors third goal. The decisive score came from Battersea’s 7, Alex Chitan, to give his team a vital victory. For those who remember the mountain of injury time at Rugby Lane for the Reeds fixture you might be interested to know that RW lost Pete Cole, Jack Jesty, Marcus Clark and Joe Wastie to injuries and finished with 14 men. How would Oscar Wilde have described such an occurrence?

Dartfordians 19 Medway 33

Harrison Fermor’s opening try after two minutes set Medway on the road for a bonus point win. Despite the hosts edging ahead courtesy of a Louis Chapman try the visitors surged ahead with tries from Max Bullock and Deji Oyesola. Dartfordians grabbed a lifeline before the break with an Alex Capuccio interception try making it 12-19. Medway seized control of the match in the second period as John Sipawa scored and Max Bullock added his second. There was scant consolation for the home team with a late penalty try that gave them the fleeting hope of a bonus point which disappeared over the touchline.

Gravesend 22 Sidcup 32

Sidcup completed the double over their Kent rivals but it was far more competitive than the 46-6 romp at Crescent Farm. From the processional game in September the Rectory Field fans enjoyed a game that swung one way and then the other. Tries from Finley White and Matt Hewitt plus the boot of Rhys Betts gave the Gs a 15-12 interval advantage. The hosts threw around yellow cards like confetti collecting four in the second period. Though remarkably, despite being down to 13 men, Gravesend led 22-19 entering the final quarter via a George Bruce try. However, Sidcup were in no mood to overlook such generous hospitality and added a brace of tries to post the victory.

Old Colfeians 43 Old Reigatian 37

Horn Park enjoyed possibly the most entertaining fixture of Round 12 that had 80 points with the hosts collecting a magnificent seven tries. After conceding an early try to OR the Colfeians stormed back in fine style and surged into a 24-5 lead. Tries from Charlie Nagel, Tom Rameaux, the pack and Shay Storey had secured the bonus point before the break. Sadly the hosts lost their wingers hamstrung by injury and were forced into an emergency new formation that was more to the Reigatian tastes. The game was in the balance at the halfway mark with the Colfeians edging out their Old Boy rivals 24-19. The hosts added to their woes with additional self-inflicted blows by getting three yellow cards in the second half. Despite their best efforts to sabotage the game OCs scored three more tries with captain Andy O’Malley picking up two tries and Leo Cunningham the other score as they pipped a gallant Reigatian side.

Old Tiffinians 37 Thurrock 8

After several spirited recent efforts from the basement boys from Essex they opened their account in the return fixtures with a heavy loss to Old Tiffinians.

Round 13: 21st December 2024

Beckenham 29 Battersea Ironsides 14

One would have thought this pivotal clash between the top two would merit a match report. Sadly, no one concerned with these two fine teams found the fixture worthy of putting pen to paper or fingers on a keyboard. Battersea, who have a game in hand following their postponed match with Medway, succumbed to their second loss of the season. The hosts extended their lead at the top to 6 points and were given further Christmas cheer when they heard that Medway (3rd) and Reeds (4th) also lost. The SW17 outfit will be hoping that Beckenham will fade as they did last campaign so that they can go one better than their second place of 2023-24.

Medway 19 Gravesend 24

Gravesend beating Medway in recent times has echoes of Sutton overcoming Wimbledon in 2021–two derby triumphs that took no account of the league status. The Kent strugglers made it 3 out of 4 wins against their local rivals making a mockery of the current form. Matt Hewitt gave the visitors an early lead before the usual Max Bullock try appeared to restore sanity to the proceedings. However, an inspired Gravesend scored three more tries before the half time whistle. Stan Dadson, Harry Brooker and a second from Matt Hewitt not only meant a handsome 24-7 lead but also a bonus point at the break. The Rectory Field team are the masters of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory but despite tries from Jonah Hyde and the prolific Max Bullock the visitors clung on for a win. After an eight-match losing streak and countless agonising defeats no one, apart from the Priestfields supporters, would begrudge the Gs this success.

Reeds Weybridge 16 Old Tiffinians 22

This was the third loss on the spin for Reeds Weybridge. It was the weather that was to blame against Sutton in the first, it was losing four players injured against Battersea Ironsides that was the reason in the second and this week it was their prestigious back division being bereft of the usual suspects. Despite the enforced changes the Old Tiffinians only held a slender 15-10 lead at the interval following tries from Dan Blackman and Max Tillman. The visitors’ advantage was extended by a Tosin Segun goal. Reeds were unable to cross the whitewash in the second period but had the consolation of a losing bonus point thanks to the excellent kicking of Pete Cole.

Sidcup 43 Old Colfeians 0

If Sidcup finished the year on an impressive high then Old Colfeians had a stark reminder of their harrowing opening match at Rugby Lane. The Crescent Farm team are six wins from six at home and they can also boast not only the most points scored in the league (427) but also the best points difference (+201). They should take heart from the fact that Old Alleynians, with a game in hand, were lying in seventh place in the league and 14 points adrift at this stage last season but went on to be the promoted champions.

Thurrock 26 Dartfordians 50

Santa was absent from Oakfield for the festive match. The long search for a league win continues for Thurrock. Meanwhile, Dartfordians secured a comprehensive win to stay nine points clear of the drop zone. The home supporters were given a brief taste of a Christmas miracle when Charlie Chitty’s try gave them the lead. The hosts fought hard and a Rick Percival try had them level at 12-12. That was as good as it got for the Essex team. A ruthless Dartfordians ran in eight tries in total. Miles Taylor and Harry Wright doubled up whilst Messrs Chapman, Faulkes, Soler-Gomez and Gubby also crossed the whitewash. Thomas Gubby added five conversions to complete the 50.
