Over the weekend of the 2nd - 4th January 2009
the London & SE squad participated in the Divisional festival in the
Midlands. Due to the forecasted weather all the games were
transferred to Moseley FC and played on a 3G rubber crumb artificial
pitch.
THE North and London & SE took the first day honours at the Under-18
Divisional Festival with contrasting victories at Moseley’s
Billesley Common ground on Friday.
The North required a last-gasp try from replacement centre George
Elliott (Giggleswick School, Leeds Carnegie and Yorkshire) to see
off the South West 21-18 in a see-saw opening game.
But London eased to a 45-22 win over the Midlands in the second
match, running in seven tries under the floodlights in the process.

LONDON & SE took this season’s Under-18 Divisional Festival title
with a hard-earned 29-18 win over the North in an entertaining final
at Moseley’s Billesley Common ground on Sunday.
London recovered well after conceding a first minute try but the
result was on doubt until replacement open side flanker James Speirs
(Roundwood Park School, Harpenden and Hertfordshire) crossed for the
deciding try in the final minute.
