Around the Ground

Around the ground at the MTG

It was a weekend of ups and downs. We celebrated those who won and commiserated with those who didn’t, but as one club, we ready ourselves to go again.

Weekend scores

Dorking 42 – 22 1st XV
Dartfordians 1st XV 36 – 51 Pilgrims
Deacons 41 – 5 Folkestone 2nds
Weavering 36 – 35 Zingari
Canterbury Women 38 – 8 Dartford Valley Roses
Colts 1 14 – 19 TJ’s
U16’s 12 – 19 Thurrock
U13’s 40 – 5 Sevenoaks

The Pilgrims maintain their grip at the top of Counties 1 Kent and continue their so far unbeaten season. Canterbury Women looked strong and dominant against Dartford Valley Roses. The Zingari battled like true warriors only to fall short by the slightest of margins, but they pushed until the final whistle. Special mention goes to the U13’s 2nd team who travelled to Sevenoaks the weekend before, beating the home team 20 – 35 with James Trott earning a mention in despatches for his outstanding contribution.
