Injuries hit Vandals winning rhythm....

Trinity 24pts -Weybridge Vandals 10pts

Despite this defeat by second place Trinity Vandals remained in fifth position in the league only four points behind the leaders Twickenham and will feel they can move up the table as the season progresses with victories in future matches.

Confidence amongst players and coaching staff remains high with twice weekly training sessions designed to ensure the team has every chance they give a match winning performance on Saturday.

The victory for Trinity was hardly surprising with Vandals fielding a much-depleted side through injuries to key players, however Luke Phairs, James Gulliver, and Sam Bullet in particular played some outstanding rugby and kept their team in contention for much of the 80 minutes but the home sides experience and tactical know how the decisive factor were resulting in their victory.

On the previous Friday evening Vandals Vets team, the ‘Owls ‘had a magnificent victory over Richmond Vets, the score of 41pt-30 reflects the ambition of both teams to play a fast open game and did this Surrey veterans cup a fitting tribute with these experienced players displaying all their natural skill and expertise. The team was led by long term member Johnny Clarke who's long term commitment to his players is a matter of Vandals club folklore.

Vandals junior section enjoyed a hugely successful day on Sunday with victories for the under 12 under 15s, under 16s with pride of place going to the under 18s who defeated Cranleigh by 31 pts to 12
