SATURDAY 30TH AUGUST 2008

70 players turned out for the Club at Hurlingham on Saturday.  The First/Second squad drew 7:7 with Chiswick and lost 18:0 to Woodford.  This was a very good workout and a chance for Dai Michael to see the players in action for the first time.

The Third/Fourth XV had a comfortable win over Chiswick Third XV.

The Ladies XV came back from their very creditable 31:21 defeat away to Harlequin Ladies to enjoy the Hog Roast.
