Playing Highlights

The table below shows theresults for the season for the 1st xv. Over time I will try to capture lower XVs but it is a long job – so any help appreciated. I make the following comments:

• Playing friendlies and doing your own fixtures seems to allow you to do a lot more home games.
• Games still played on 24/12, 26/12, 31/12 as well as Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday – so no Christmas or Easter shutdown
• I notice a couple of extra “olds” this year and one caused me a smile as I read Old Shootershillians as Old Shooter Shillians but then realised it was probably Old Shooters Hillians. Stupid name in any case 🙂
• Hove attended the Sussex 7s and I’m trying to read George’s handwriting but I do actually think we won it. I have no idea where it was held but as far as I can make out from his notes the following is true:
  • beat someone (can’t decipher) in first game by 19-0
  • then beat Worthing 11-0
  • Someone else 9-5
  • Someone else 6-5
  • beat Crowborough 21-0
  • beat Horsham 6-3
  • Then won the final against Old Somebodians 19-0 (might have been Old Reigatian)
