Congratulations - Won Festival

Ist Game - Teddington 30 Finchley 0 - a comprehensive start against a game Finchley team who could have replied with a couple of scores but for poor finishing

2nd Game - Teddington 10 Chobham 5 - a much closer affair but again a
good performance to guarantee qualification to the semis!

Semi Final - Teddington 10 Grasshoppers 5 - a close hard game against the
festival hosts with Josh Day scoring a late winner in the corner.

Final - Teddington 20 Ealing 15 - the best game was saved for the final against always tough opponents Ealing. We charged into a 15-0 lead with some excellent rugby with Ealing replying just before half time. Ealing came out for the 2nd half fired up and played some good rugby to score twice and equalise at 15-15 - our heads could have dropped but we came back strongly again to score 20-15 - the last few minutes (which seemed like 10) saw excellent defence to keep them out and win by one score. The referee praised both teams saying it was one of the best finals he had been in charge of! - Well done to all the players and Ian Barton, David Donaldson and Jose Galan for keeping the boys going!
