The team also had three players from last season's successful Academy team, Jonny Regnier at 10, Callum Loyal at 15 and Michael young at No 8. Unfrotunately Kai Lewes mixed up Sureey Quays with Southwark and got completely lost, bless him he is only a country lad and didn't like all the noise and tall building s from the big smoke. Darts started well and a catch and drive at the lineout sent Lee Kernott over for the opening try which was converted by Tom Mothersole. This was followed with a fine solo effort from Callum Loyal which was also converted by Tom. 14-0.
