EXILES BEAT CROYDON AWAY

EXILES BEAT CROYDON AWAY

EXILES 34 - CROYDON 18 Last Saturday the Exiles travelled away to the deepest darkest depths of Croydon. After the usual nightmare journey we all arrived in one piece despite some maverick driving from Coach Phil. Due to the frost the ref deemed their 1sts pitch unplayable meaning the match was moved to the much smaller back-up pitches on the other side of the road. During an ‘intense’ game of touch Zac Frei seemed to have been taken out by a sniper and hit the deck, squealing i...

EXILES MARCH ON IN THE CUP

EXILES MARCH ON IN THE CUP

OP'S 3 - EXILES 19 Last Saturday saw the 1st XV travel to Old Priorians in search of their Twickenham dream. Previous results suggested this was going to be a hard fought fixture and a tough physical battle was inevitable.   Injuries throughout the week unsettled the run up procedures however the depth of talent in the club proved to be invaluable with some last minute call ups being made on Friday night to get the 19 man squad in place.   The warm up did not go quite to...

YOUNG 1ST XV DOES PROPER JOB

YOUNG 1ST XV DOES PROPER JOB

LSA 7 - EXILES 50 I’d like to start with a big tap on the back to all those involved in the 1sts and 2nds on Saturday. As a club our points tally was 131 for and 12 against. Not bad at all. Another notable mention must go to all involved in the post-match antics. If we can replicate this intensity and desire on the field god only knows what we could produce. This week’s 1st XV fixture saw the London Exiles travel away to Thames Ditton to face up against bottom of the table London So...

ANOTHER BIG WIN FOR THE TWO’s

ANOTHER BIG WIN FOR THE TWO’s

REEDS WEYBRIDGE 5 - EXILES 2nd XV 67 What a weekend for the Exiles. Two superb performances on the pitch matched with gusto by the post match celebrations. Managing to get chucked out of two pubs in one evening is quite some achievement. Back to the game. A new look twos side trekked over to Reeds Weybridge for what promised to be the toughest challenge of our unbeaten season, against our closest rivals and 2nd in the league. Chan’s cooly delivered comment that “Don’t worry, I used t...

EXILES KICK OFF CUP CAMPAIGN WITH A ‘W’

EXILES KICK OFF CUP CAMPAIGN WITH A ‘W’

EXILES 20 - HACKNEY 13   Last Saturday the Exiles hit the (rather long) road to Hackney in the second round of the Cup. We knew that this would be a tough fixture with Hackney sitting in the equivalent position to us in their respective league.   The build up to Saturday was not ideal with a couple of last minute drop outs and a slightly depleted squad due to injuries. However, due to the good depth in the club which we have been working hard at producing we were able to field a strong sid...

EXILES 1ST XV 8 – OLD PAULINES 11

EXILES 1ST XV 8 – OLD PAULINES 11

Preparation started bizarrely well and rather organised with everyone getting to the ground in good time allowing a productive warm up.   The ground was soft and conditions dry with the only curveball being a strong wind towards the on left corner of the pitch. The Exiles won the toss and opted to use the wind in the first half.   We started well with an aggressive and enthusiastic defensive line. However, within the first 2 minutes Pumps had a split second of hot headednes...

EXILES 2XV 54 – OLD HAILEYBURIANS 15

EXILES 2XV 54 – OLD HAILEYBURIANS 15

It was an unusual build up to Saturday’s game as everything strangely seemed to be running smoothly: everyone arrived earlier than usual – 30mins before the game – allowing for a ‘proper’ warm up – a jog round the pitch, followed by a quick stretch. Also, this was the first game of the season we had a full complement of front row players, allowing us to compete for 5 whole league points.   Exiles began the game half asleep - the majority of possession with Old Haileyburian...
