The Mighty Ditchling Wild Pigs put Lewes to the sword…

On a wet muddy day at Lewes RFC the Wild Pigs came out all guns blazing. Two massive hits in less than 2 minutes from Owen Kernan set the tone and Lewes knew they were in for a hard day at the office. Defence was the name of the game and all the Wild Pigs, bar none, stood up to the challenge. A fine Ditchling win away from home against Lewes 1XV: 13 - 15

Try scorers: Owen Kernan, Joe Holland-Villa and Adam Crook

Man of the match: Owen Kernan
DoD: Adam Crook (hobbit abuse)
Honourable mention: Rory Slack on debut.

Awesome to meet up with my old mate Setarcos for a stroll today - we haven’t seen each other since our Ouzo soaked days travelling around Greece. Ahead of Ditchling Rugby Football Club Saturday away clash with Lewes, 09/12 at 14:00, he offered up some outrageously wise words:

“The easiest and bestest way to play rugby is not to be crushing other clubs but to be improving yourselves”

Ditchling RFC train every Wednesday at 19:00 at Brighton RFC. Everyone is welcome. Get in touch…

Breaking news over the weekend as the Sussex Gazette leads with:

“Justin Wallden, President of Ditchling RFC, announces his front row comeback ahead of the top of the table showdown with Hove 3s” (02/12 @ The Sty).

Allegedly, the legend that is JW has been named as a finisher on the bench. Truly a glorious spectacle to behold….
