The weekend’s Bandits fixture had so much to it outside the actual rugby from a touch of rugby history and family connections to striking similarities between the recent experiences of both teams. Old Dunstonians were a bit of an unknown quantity with none of the club men having played them before, but we did know that like the Bandits a …
The Brigands travelled to Old Elthamians for a derby game that was terrific for the neutrals but no good for the heart. Starting brightly the club looked to work phases but the hosts soon began to wrest control, helped by Club indiscipline and the home fly half’s excellent kicking game. However, it was a Club counterattack that led to the …

The Bandits’ first home match of the season had everything, borrowed players, a hooker with afterburners, and enough tries to fill a highlights reel.

Saturday, 13th September 2025. The second instalment of the social section’s Saturday afternoon came with the Bandits adventuring to Westcombe Park, and despite the best efforts of South London traffic a hearty and strong squad assembled in Orpington to round out the fourth fixture of the day for the Mens’ teams. The sun managed to shine through as the team …

The Brigs faced their first tough test of the new season at home against Sidcup IIIs, and came through it convincingly despite the visitors taking an early lead and pressing the Club side hard throughout.
