Vivat Sunningdalia!!!

What a game!! In conditions not dissimilar to the Somme, the mighty men of the 1st XV took on a Horris Hill side that has had a very successful season. We knew that this was going to be tough and so it proved. Horris were deservedly ahead at half time but Sunningdale struck back early to set up a thrilling second half. Despite the difficult conditions, the handling was good and the ball was spread nicely. Sunningdale took the lead and the supporters thought they were in for a victory until Horris Hill struck twice to make victory seem beyond us with the score at 24 - 35. Sunningdale showed unbelievable spirit, though, and ran in two very late tries to take an incredible win 38 points to 35. 

Both sides deserve great credit for a rugby game that will live long in the memory.
