Colts
Another brilliant Division 1 win for the Colts v Sevenoaks, 22-14.
Two evenly matched sides with some really intelligent play and an immense scrum making the difference.
The giant killing continues. 💪🔥
U15 Boys
We played their final Kent match of the campaign today away at Bromley.
We started the game brightly scoring within the first 2 minutes and then a strong Bromley outfit took control of the ball. 22-7 at half time. The boys worked hard to fix things in the second half and we made them work for it. But injuries began to pile up- final score of 42-14 to Bromley, did not reflect how hard we battled. Proud of the boys.
Onwards and upwards to a wider range of Kent teams for the rest of the season.
U14 Boys
A hard fought game vs Tonbridge Juddians in their latest Kent League match but in the end a winning 19-10 score.
We’re in to Group 4 (of 9) now and remain unbeaten.
Two more games to go before we arrange a host of friendlies. In to season end. Onwards and upwards! đź’Ş

U18 Girls
Great result for the under 18 girls today against Tonbridge Judians. An exhausting end to end game as injuries saw the game reduced in numbers, the girls got off to a flying start with two tries in the first five minutes and kept responding with another score every time the opposition narrowed the deficit. Seven tries in total led to a final score of 43-30. A fabulous performance and a great win.
U12 Girls
We also played Tonbridge Judianss in a friendly away in Tonbridge. Our cluster team Sabres won 7-2, passing and supporting well, following a joint warm up / training session. TJs gave us a warm welcome although their pitches were very muddy.
U13 Boys
A friendly fixture against Gravesend giving our new and development boys a start and playing some of the other players in new positions. It was a good run out with some great ball handling and tackling from our boys which meant we just edged the win.
U15 Boys
A rare Horn Park outing for the under 15s and a tough match. Despite coming from behind twice we missed an opportunity to sneak a win at the death, losing 24-19 to a well organised Tunbridge Wells outfit.
Colts
This week a friendly v Old Elthamians. We played a lot of the boys out of position and dropped to 14 but were still far too strong for them. Splendid refereeing by Noel Kilby who saved the game by stepping in to help.
Sunday 7th December
U15 Boys
A very tough outing for the under 15s at Gravesend in a friendly. A much changed side just snuck a real arm wrestle 26 -25.
U14 Girls
We had an excellent win today against 7Wells (Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks). After a couple of tough waterfall games where defence was the order of the day, they ran riot this morning and crossed for eight tries in a 48-7 win.
U12 Girls
Our U12 Crimsons in our cluster with Westcombe Park and Beccs, ti form the Sabres U12s. Today we played against Dartford Valley. We had a great game v DV, the players were all smiling at the end, we played well and are developing from week to week. Incidentally, we lost by a few points.
Sunday 23rd November
U14 Boys
We had a home development game against Old Alleynians.
Both sides played really well and it was great to see some of our new joiners get there first run out. No one was quite sure of the final score but it was definitely an OC’s win, and Mary’s post match burgers were well deserved by all the players (and a few lucky coaches!)
U18 Girls
The girls put on a good performance against a strong combined Aylesford and Sevenoaks side.
They fought hard with their work at the breakdown particularly impressive. Ultimately though our opponents powerful running paid dividends and we lost 44-19 but a very encouraging showing nonetheless.
U13 Boys
We had a friendly match against Blackheath. We ran it as a development match evolving then into a full A team match for the final period so was great to give all the squad a run out and also try players in different positions. Everyone played well and we won each of the periods.
Sunday 16th November
U18 Girls
Two of our girls in action on Sunday for Kent, Bibi and Connie both scored tries in a 27-12 win over Essex.
U14 Girls
With one of our players making her debut, the U14 Girls dug deep in today’s Waterfall fixture against two-time tournament champions Tonbridge Juddians. Showing solid defensive organisation and phenomenal tackling throughout, the girls lifted their performance in the second half and can be rightly proud of the final 0–7 score line.
U12 Girls
The girls won three out of three at the Kent waterfall today. Beating Dartfordians (40-20), Old Alleynians (30-15 from 15-0 down) and Gravesend (40-10). A great display of grit, determination and passion.
U16 Boys
The boys won their Kent match against Whitstable today… we were behind for the whole match and they left it to the last five minutes to turn it into a win 24 v 20 … spectators were exhausted! Huge compliments for the after match food of Thai red or green curry!
U14 Boys
The U14s go marching on… 3/3 in Kent League. Today seeing off Sevenoaks 24-5 on their own turf(clay). Great performance from the lads – this group is growing, not just physically 👍🏻
Sunday 9th November
U15 Boys
We played a well organised and sizeable Westcombe Park side in the third of our five Kent Competition games this season. The first half was very competitive but our boys worked well as a team to establish a half time lead and we stretched away in final quarter. Another bonus point win 43-15 final score.
U13s Boys
Away at Dartfordians for our Kent match. The whole team put in a great effort and secured a convincing 40-0 win. We scored one try in the first half and then 7 in the second half!
U18 Girls
Our girls haven’t yet learned how to play the first half but for the second game running we scored five second half tries to bring us in touching distance of an unexpected victory. Sadly it wasn’t to be and some late breakaway tries saw Ashford take a 48-25 win. Great effort from the girls again.
Sunday 2nd November
U15 Boys
Centaurs played a friendly against a resilient Sidcup side. We used the opportunity to try some new combinations and people in new positions.
The boys worked hard problem solving as they went – a competitive game throughout we stretched away in the final quarter to finish Colfe’s 39 -Sidcup 17.
Sunday 19th October
U15 Boys
Today we travelled to Kent Group 1 team Canterbury for a friendly. After a good hard battle where attack won out over defence , Canterbury nicked a draw with the last play of the game. 62-62. Scoreboard almost got as much exercise as the players. Shows we can mix it with anyone.
U14 Boys
We had a tough start at home in their 2nd Kent game, going into half time 14-0 down. But after a strong talk from the coaches, and a bit of a head wobble, they came back fighting! The second half was theirs with 4 tries and 2 conversions, and a final winning score of 24-14.
All the other age groups both boys and girls had a training session this week.
Sunday 12th October
Under 18 Girls
We had a tough game against Beccs Valley. Although the first half got away from us a tremendous second half effort saw us run in five tries to give a final score of 27-57.
U14 Girls
Won 53-10 against Bromley.
U12 Girls
Lost by a few to Bromley. After some good play from both teams the final score was 40-20
U16 Boys
First Kent game of the season against Maidstone. A frustrating loss 14-20 as we had led most of the game. Lots to discuss and improve.. đź’ŞOnwards
U15 Boys
Best performance so far this season in a Kent match: Beckenham 5 OC’s 52. Amazing team effort.
U14 Boys
We won a friendly fixture vs Beckenham. Was a great chance to give our squad players a proper run out 👍🏻
U13 Boys
We lost 20 – 15 at home to Aylesford. It was a close game and a well fought battle.
