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!

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 Going into the Christmas fixture Brighton lead the table by 8 points having only one blemish on their record being the opening day loss to Beckenham. Old Reigatian have endured a miserable season so far and are rock bottom with no wins. For those looking for inspiration, in 2023-4 at this point of the season Old Alleynians, the eventual champions, were lying sixth on 33 points trailing by 13 points with a game in hand. But then again in the last two campaigns the top dog had lost 3 matches by now.

ROUND 11 6th December 2025 Battersea Ironsides 32 Horsham 25 The Ironsides secured an impressive win against a Horsham side who were on the rise. The host’s season continues to demonstrate erratic form.

Beckenham 24 Canterbury II 22 Balmoral Avenue witnessed a thrilling encounter as the hosts edged out the Pilgrims. Beckenham have won four out of five at home with their colours only being lowered by local rivals Sidcup.

Old Colfeians 38 Dartfordians 33 Despite trailing 14-12 at the break Old Colfeians secured a bonus point win with emerging talent Harry Pratten to the fore. The loss was harsh for Dartfordians’ Jarlath Hetherington who contributed a brace of tries and four conversions but the had the consolation of two bonus points.

Old Reigatian 19 Gravesend 52 Gravesend made it four wins in a row as they inflicted more grief upon Old Reigatian. The rot set in early for the hosts when Josh Barnes scored a try from his own half in the opening minute. Further tries from Sims, Hope and another by Barnes secured the bonus point before the break as the visitors led 31-7.

OR made a spirited comeback but Gravesend were not to be denied.

Sidcup 29 Bromley 31 Bromley are now the proud possessors of ‘Any Team Can Beat Any Team In This League’ Award.

The newly promoted side went to fortress Crescent Farm and defeated second-placed Sidcup on a memorable afternoon for the boys from the Warman Sports Club.

ROUND 12: 13th December Brighton 56 Battersea Ironsides 31 The leaders racked up a half century for the fourth time this season as the Waterhall juggernaut continues to crush all before them. It is 12 wins in a row and counting.

Bromley 27 Beckenham 38 Bromley could not back up their triumph at Sidcup as they lost at home to the improving Beckenham.

The visitors are sitting pretty in third place and thoughts of post-season games loom large.

Canterbury II 41 Horsham 40 Having lost by a couple of points in Round 11 the Pilgrims came out on the right side of a keenly fought contest in Round 12. The second string won by a solitary point as they climb to 8th in the table, their loftiest status of the season so far.

Old Colfeians 38 Gravesend 29 The hosts are steadily rising up the table and secured their sixth win of the campaign as they sit in the play-off zone of the table and they are a solitary point behind the Black & Whites.

Old Reigatian 5 Sidcup 38 Another Saturday and another blank sheet for Reigatian as Sidcup continue to stay on the tail of the irrepressible Brighton.

Earlier This Season: Old Reigatian 14 Sutton & Epsom 49 Back in Round 3 of the campaign the Black & Whites ventured to Geoffrey Knight Fields with a degree of trepidation as Old Reigatian had beaten S&E home and away in the last two seasons. Eric Duey marked his return, after a lengthy absence, with the opening score for Sutton after five minutes and the visitors never looked back. At the end of the first quarter a stunning solo effort from Gareth O’Brien doubled the advantage. On the half hour Dan Jones added a third goal. Sam Lennie and Laurence Wise joined the party before the break. Sutton & Epsom had enjoyed the benefits of the slope and the wind in the first period to establish a 35-0 lead and picked up their 4-try bonus point.

The hosts would enjoy the benefits of the slope and a strengthening wind. Even with their talented back division and their habitual winning of this fixture a 35-point deficit was considerable, perhaps not Everest but certainly Himalayan in proportions. Their task was not made easier when Adam Bibby made it 42-0. Firstly, Jonny Bridges and then the impressive Number 9 Max Nicol scored for the hosts. However, it was definitely a case of too little, too late. The Black & Whites finished on a high with Dan Jones scoring triumphantly under the posts. ‘The 100% Man’, Tom Lennard, made it 49-14 and brought his personal tally to 14 points in a 49-14 Sutton triumph.

Old Reigatian This Season On Saturday 6th January 2024 Old Reigatian won a hard fought contest against Old Colfeians 28-26 in Round 14 and went to the top of Regional 2 South East. Less than two years later after 12 rounds of the current campaign the ORs have lost to every team in the league and have garnered only three bonus points. For those of the Rugby Lane supporters who can recall the 2011-12 season they can empathise and sympathise. Sutton endured losing all 26 games in the old London One South. Losing becomes a habit and what can go wrong usually does go wrong in seasons like these.

For the record, the slim return in this campaign has come from two bonus points from tries and one narrow loss. Round 5 saw an agonising defeat at home to Battersea Ironsides by 2726 and that is the closest they have come to success. On seven separate occasions they have conceded in excess of 40 points with the Sussex clubs being particularly avaricious. Horsham racked up 78 points and two games later league leaders Brighton inflicted a 73-0 defeat upon Old Reigatian. The club will be hoping that 2026 brings better fortune on the pitch.
