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 2025-26 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 was particularly enjoyable with plenty of very closely-contested matches for the men’s 1st XV. Ultimately, they finished in a creditable fourth place, with the women’s 1st XV finishing eighth 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 2025-26 be a season to remember at S&ERFC – for all the right reasons!
John Hardy President
Headline sponsor’s message
We are again delighted to be supporting S&ERFC in our ninth 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 2025-26 season, and of course enjoying some outstanding rugby in the coming months!

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.”

The Rapid Round Up
ROUND 7
25th October 2025
Bromley 27 Gravesend 26
Bromley took advantage of the slope to lead 17-7 at the break. Tries from Josh Mackenzie and Finley White put the visitors ahead by four points in the second half before this fluctuating fixture culminated with the hosts snatching victory with a try from the final play of the game.
Dartfordians 33 Brighton 52
Brighton, looking for an instant return to Level 5, went to the top of the table. They triumphed in a high scoring affair with winger Tyrone Makasi running in a hat trick. Perhaps the pick of their scores was a wonderful team effort that went the length of the pitch with scrum-half Gus Taylor touching down. Dartfordians had a bonus point courtesy of 4 tries: Clarke, Banks, Renier & Taylor.
Old Colfeians 33 Horsham 33
The first half saw OCs twice pegged back after tries from Louis Baker and James Amor. Then scores from Chris Harris and Ryan Napper gave the hosts a healthy 26-14 lead. Crucially Horsham got a goal before the interval to trail 21-26 at the break. Louis Baker’s second score of the afternoon stretched the Horn Park men’s advantage but that was to be their last addition to the scoreboard. A valiant Horsham fought back with two tries and the second was on the final play. Amid scenes of great tension James Millsom’s conversion failed and it was honours even at 33-33.
Old Reigatian 22 Canterbury II 39
The Pilgrims took the lead with an Owain Collins penalty before debutant winger Owen Hewett scored the first of his 4 tries. The hosts rallied to level it at 8-8. But the visitors were not to be denied as Hewett scored three more and fellow winger Archie English made it 32-8 at the break. Old Reigatian battled hard in the second half as the Pilgrims’ progress was hampered by yellow cards. The game concluded 39-22 and it was another pointless afternoon for Old Reigatian.
Sidcup 38 Battersea Ironsides 17
The hosts continued their fine recent form securing a bonus point win over the Ironsides.
ROUND 8
8th November 2025
Brighton 73 Old Reigatian 0
When the top team plays the club at the bottom in their own backyard in rugby there is almost no chance of an upset. Added to the fact that Brighton average almost 45 points per game in the last four matches and Old Reigatian have conceded 53 points per game over the same period there was only going to be one outcome: Brighton thrashed Old Reigatian.
Bromley 29 Dartfordians 41
Dartfordians have been better on the road than at home this season and this was a valuable bonus point win. They scored six tries including a brace from Joe Scott whilst the prolific Jarleth Hetherington garnered 16 points for his personal tally
Canterbury II 57 Old Colfeians 41
The Pigrims continue onwards and upwards with a third win on the spin. When winger Archie English touched down for the bonus point try and a 28-7 lead it looked like one-way traffic for the hosts. However, Colfeians only trailed 24-35 at the break and had a bonus point for themselves. The hosts were not seriously threatened but OCs fought to the end adding two final tries. In a thrilling 98-point game the glory for Canterbury went to Archie English, Gus Lister and Anodiwanashe Masaka who all crossed the whitewash twice.
Gravesend 43 Beckenham 31
This was an impressive way for Gravesend to end a 4-game losing streak. Samraj Chahal collected 4 tries and at one stage the hosts led by 31 points before visiting Beckenham rallied late on scoring three unanswered tries.
Horsham 20 Sidcup 24
Horsham have already played in two draws this campaign and this was another keenly contested match. Despite tries from the centre Toms, Whittaker and Johnson, and contributions from the boots of Messrs Millsom and Blake Sidcup were not to be denied.
NB:
To the RFU: it would be agreeable if they could correct the league table on the Table section of their website that has erroneously put Dartfordians as having played 9 matches counting their 26-17 loss to Canterbury II twice. It has only been wrong since October 18th. Apparently it was drawn to their attention by a keen-eyed follower that weekend.
Focus on Horsham
A Warm Welcome to Horsham on their League Debut Against Sutton
Horsham RFC is approaching its centenary as it was founded in 1928 at the Station Hotel by A.G.S Hodgson, Bainbridge Copnall and A.G. Puttock. From their original Warnham Park home they moved to Horsham Cricket Club in 1930 until finally establishing secure roots at Coolhurst since 1972. Though this is the first meeting in league rugby between our two clubs it is not our first encounter. On 27th November 1937 Sutton were defeated 8-3 at Horsham but gained revenge by overcoming the Sussex club 19-4 when they visited us a year later.
From humble beginnings of a dozen fixtures Horsham has expanded. Supported by a vibrant mini and junior section since 1976, that boasts internationals Billy Twelvetrees and Joe Launchbury as ex-alumni, they have four senior XVs and youngsters from U7 upwards. The facilities have improved with regular refurbishments and expansions to meet growing demands including a women’s section since 2019. The club was honoured to have been chosen by the RFU as the only recipient of a new 3G pitch in Sussex, Surrey and Kent, and installation was completed in June 2018.
Like most clubs the league era has seen ups and downs with the vagaries of promotions and relegations. A highlight was promotion in 2018-19 via the London 2 promotion play-off when a record crowd in excess of 600 saw them overwhelm Farnham 44-17. In that triumphant team was Nick Bell the only veteran of their Sussex I play-off success against Park House in 2007. More glory soon followed in the wondrous 2022-23 campaign when the club finished a comfortable 13 points clear of Farnham to reach Level 5. Sadly, it was only a brief stay of two seasons before returning this season to play familiar foes in Regional 2 South East.
Horsham are serial winners of County Cup competitions having won the Sussex Knock Out Trophy in 1992 and 1994. In recent times they have monopolised the Bob Rogers Sussex Cup. The trophy, named after the erstwhile RFU President, Sussex rugby stalwart and octogenarian European triathlon champion, has become a familiar feature for Horsham RFC. In 2016 they completed a hat trick of Cup wins coming from behind to defeat Hove 26-20. Two years later and the fifth triumph on the bounce was even closer as Hove were, once more, the victims by 37-35 as a Joe Wilde penalty, the last kick of the game, saw Horsham home. The following season they completed a league and cup double at East Grinstead RFC when they beat Hastings & Bexhill 31-3. Only promotion to a higher level denied them the opportunity for a Magnificent Seventh win on the spin.
Horsham have enjoyed mixed fortunes this season as they sit in sixth place in the table. However, this does not tell the whole story. Their record includes draws against Gravesend and Old Colfeians as well as a narrow defeat in the last round to Sidcup. But for the success of few kicks here and there Horsham might have been in the top three with only a couple of losses and like their Sussex rivals Brighton in prime position for an immediate return to Level 5. For Sutton supporters who follow the league results in the post-Whitaker era they might be amused to note that Horsham have a prolific try-scorer in centre Tom Whittaker. Many a time our Matt was frustrated that his name was incorrectly spelt with a second ‘t’ one trusts Horsham’s Tom is not plagued by numerous erroneous versions of his name.

CALLING ALL S&ERFC MEMBERS DO
YOU PLAY GOLF?
The Magpies are Sutton & Epsom RFC’s very own Golfing Society and all club members automatically qualify as members. You don’t need any particular high level of golfing skill although a sense of humour and ability to ‘lunch’ well will help!
Come and join players, past and present, and enjoy your fantastically entertaining Golf Society – a warm welcome is assured. We have four meetings a year including the legendary Christmas meeting and Captain’s Away Day.
For further information contact:
Felix Symonds (Captain) 07976 062567 magpiesgolfsociety@gmail.com
Sponsorship
We are always looking for new business partners with whom we can build relationships for long-term mutual benefit.
In return, we can offer our sponsors a range of benefits, including opportunities to promote their business and their products, to generate direct sales via club membership and to entertain their clients, both at the club and at Twickenham.
We have a range of packages available to suit all budgets and objectives. For an initial discussion, without obligation, please contact:
