Only five games to go, and still everything to play for with Sevenoaks, Camberley, Brighton and ourselves still in the mix. Only the top team gains automatic promotion and the second placed team goes into a play-off against the runner-up from the London 1 North League. Back in November Westcombe Park gave us a bit of a thumping at their place winning by 29 points to 13. Our performance was disappointing and we will need to be far better today to give ourselves a chance of winning against a traditionally very strong team. Huge congratulations to Max Bullock and Cullen Daly for their selection for London Counties U18’s and more recently England Counties U18’s squads, read more about this later in the programme. Matt Beard, Thomas Miles, Zach Garratt and Zeki Yesilman have also represented Kent U20’s and we have had an amazing eight Medway girls selected to the U15/18 Kent squads. Well done to everyone and it is brilliant to see these very talented youngsters putting Medway on the rugby map! We are now well into the final quarter of the season and the diary is absolutely jammed packed with exciting rugby for all. Whatever the event, please do join in, volunteer and help your coaches and managers make this season the best one ever. I hope you have another great day at Medway RFC.

O Y O F P R I E S T F I E L D S M E D U B W C L A Y L R A L U B G T B O Y O F CLUB NEWS P S Taff Gwilliam R I E S T F I E L D This week the tremendous club news is that two of our youngsters have been selected for England Under 18. These selections highlight the quality of the youth coming through the ranks at the club. Over the last few years we have worked hard to bring rugby to more and more schools in the Medway area and grow long term partnerships with these schools. We are now we are seeing the results of this policy. Last season Alfie Orris and Jordan Stubbington not only played for Kent but went on to play for London and South East England. This season there are 4 Medway boys representing Kent at under 20 level, Zach Garratt, Matthew Beard, Zeki Yesilman and Tom Miles. The above success has been followed now by the brilliant news that Max Bullock and Cullen Daly have both been selected for the England Counties Under 18. Both players having represented Kent were then selected for London & South East England and at the Divisional tournament (which they won) Max was selected in the playing squad and Cullen as a reserve in the National Under 18 side. It is a fantastic achievement for them both and all our congratulations go to them and their families. The club is really proud of their success. The boys will attend a Training camp at Portsmouth from 16th till to the 21st April. They will then travel to Ireland. The International programme is from Monday 22nd April until Sunday 28th April. England Counties U18 will play against Ireland U18 Clubs on Wednesday 24th April (kick off 2:30pm) and Saturday 27th April (kick-off 2:00pm). The first test will be played at Energia Park (Donnybrook Stadium) and the 2nd test will be played at Ashbourne RFC in County Meath.
