Around the Ground at the MTG
1st XV
A second half onslaught, which, yielded five tries, ended Canterbury’s challenge to the unbeaten league leaders. In the final play of the game the city side salvaged a bonus point with a Garry Jones try, so did not come way empty handed, but Juddians power and tactical nous had by then settled the issue. A solid first half saw Canterbury reach the break five points ahead, suggesting this could be another of the tightly contested affairs which have been the hallmark of this Kent derby fixture over the past two seasons.
Pilgrims
Continued their undefeated run with a dominant Friday Night Lights performance over Deal and Betteshanger. A good crowd of vocal supporters cheered the lads on.
Canons
Our second undefeated team went to Foots Cray and left with a convincing win. The team looked strong and well drilled.
Deacons
unfortunately, the game was cancelled. The team are looking forward to their match up against Thanet 3rds next weekend.
