S&ERFC v Old Colfeians (04.10.25)

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 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!

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.”

Focus on Old Colfeians

Last Season at Rugby Lane:

Sutton & Epsom 50 Old Colfeians 7

Last season the campaign began in glorious sunshine with the visit of Old Colfeians. Naturally, there is rather an excessive importance placed upon the result of the league opener. At the final whistle S&E had recorded their best ever opening league win and sat atop of the league table. Caution must always be attached to the early fixtures due to availability, fitness and new recruits but it was a most promising start for the Black & Whites. Sutton fielded six debutants with the New Zealand pair of Adam Bibby and Josh Rea joining the homegrown duo of Pete Gordon and Callum Hilton and new recruits Finlay Scott and Adam Watkins.

Gareth O’Brien and Finlay Scott were the main beneficiaries of this 8-try rout picking up a brace of tries. The avaricious Bunting added a try to his five conversions to extend his impressive tally of points. The carnage was evenly applied with 26 unanswered points in the first period and 24 in the second half. Debutants Gordon and Watkins also enjoyed the pleasure of touching down on their first appearances. In retrospect, there was a price to pay for the wonderful win with serious injuries to Laurence Wise and Josh Pulvirenti.

The season concluded in April at Horn Park and Old Colfeians gained a fair measure of satisfaction with a fine 36-22 triumph with a massive 57-point points swing. The denouement of the campaign was reminiscent of the Biblical phrase of Matthew 20:16 and Luke 13:30. One hopes there was not too much squabbling between the apostles as to who originated the famous expression.

The Rapid Round Up

ROUND 2:

13th September 2025

Battersea Ironsides 28 Brighton 36

In Round 1 there was not a single home win but in week two there was only Brighton’s solitary and impressive win on the road in Battersea. Sadly, since we last played Brighton, they appear no longer to employ scribes like Tudor Ellis to provide a match report. Additionally, it is a continuing curiosity that the largest club in Europe cannot find one member to record the Ironsides performances for posterity.

Beckenham 47 Bromley 7

Beckenham, as is their wont, have started the season strongly with two wins. They garnered another bonus point win over Bromley, with tries by Fran Pennacchia (2), David Aoake (2), James Curr, Matt Lovell, and George Bunton.

Gravesend 36 Old Colfeians 8

Gravesend got their first win of the Regional 2 South East season with a 36-8 victory over local rivals Old Colfeians. For an hour it was nip and tuck until the hosts punished the tiring visitors. For Gravesend after an early score Andrew Cooke set them on the way with a 10-8 lead at the break. The final quarter flourish saw the home team collect a bonus point.

Horsham 41 Canterbury II 25

Horsham enjoyed a magnificent 7-try haul against Canterbury II. For the Green and Whites Joe Blake set the tone with an opening try after 2 minutes with Tom Whittaker and Tom Saunders adding a brace apiece. The Pilgrims were hampered by three yellow cards and several missed opportunities.

Sidcup 46 Old Reigatian 10

The Crescent Farm team sit proudly atop of the table following two handsome wins and an avalanche of points. For the Old Boys it was a pointless weekend and another defeat but it is early days in the competition.

The Rapid Round Up

ROUND 3:

20th September 2025

Brighton 31 Horsham 22

In the Sussex derby between the two relegated clubs from Regional 1 South Central the hosts prevailed in a hard fought encounter courtesy of a Ross Miller double. Tries from Whittaker, Howard and Sanders plus points from the boot of Millsom were not enough to deny the Blues back-to-back victories. Unfortunately the game was concluded in the 71st minute due to a serious injury to Horsham lock Jacob Denhart and we all wish him well for a speedy and full recovery.

Bromley 21 Battersea Ironsides 49

Bromley are the only pointless club after three rounds and were not helped by a 5th-minute red card. The Ironsides after a Man of the Match performance from Number 8 Pierce Cummins sadly remain scribeless.

Canterbury II 27 Gravesend 43

Gravesend had an impressive 7-try triumph at Canterbury to continue their unbeaten start to the season. Samraj Chahal opened the visitors’ account after they trailed to an early score. Tries from Josh Barnes, Les Falefau and Andrew Cooke sealed a first half bonus point. A spirited Canterbury fought back aided by Gravesend being reduced to 13 but the outcome was never in doubt.

Dartfordians 19 Beckenham 50

Beckenham went top of the table as they racked up a half-century of points as their third victory on the spin put them in their familiar early season position as league leaders. A brace from Steven Kpaka was scant consolation for the hosts who are in search of their first win of the campaign.

Old Colfeians 27 Sidcup 19

Arguably the outstanding performance of the round came at Horn Park as the home team secured a bonus point win over the early leaders. Tries from Andy O’Malley, Esterfan Ellis, Louis Baker and James Amor were backed up by seven points from the Ryan Napper boot. Louis Baker, at inside centre, was the Man of the Match as he carried the attack to Sidcup to great effect.

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.
