After a satisfying victory over Old Paulines, the Exiles enjoyed a big night out at the 22nd Annual Colours Dinner at the Connaught Rooms, WC2.
For me as Club President it’s the chance to thank those who have done so much for the club through the season and to present the end of season special awards of Player of the Year and our ultimate honour, Exile of the Year.
Saturday night was also the opportunity to make a special award.
The Club has only bestowed...

OLD WHITGIFTIANS 20- LONDON EXILES 44
Exiles,
Back in September we set out 2 goals for this season – the win the RFU Junior Vase and to gain promotion to London 3.
Harrow tripped us up on the first one but this weekend’s result (a 44-20 win over a young but spirited Old Whitgiftians) all but sealed the second. Without counting chickens (because you never know what can happen) the only thing that remains for us to do this season is to play Old Paulines on Saturday.

OLD WIMBLEDONIAN'S 31-LONDON EXILES 20
Quite frankly, the less said the better. However, on a beautiful spring afternoon the Exiles travelled to Raynes Park with a strong side expecting to put in a strong performance against mid table opponents Old Wimbledonians. OW's had other plans. They were quite simply more 'up for it' than we were and they thoroughly deserved their win. We know we can play so much better than this and frankly this was not a performance that showed us in our true top o...

If you are not selected or are injured please do try and come down to support either team - it looks like being a sunny weekend, so what better way is there to spend a Saturday afternoon (if you're not playing) other than watching so...

Lads,
I wanted to leave this over the weekend and give you all a chance to reflect on Saturday.
Understandably, the team after Saturday’s divisional final loss was feeling very low and there was little to provide consolation after losing in the last 8 of the National Cup. Losing by 13 points after a slow start that gave the opposition a 21 point lead is a tough pill to swallow, given we were clearly the better side. However, this is the stuff of sport and yo...
