Close fought match against new friendly foes Old Caterhamians!

As the dust settles on what was a terrific preseason friendlies weekend of action at Ruxley Lane, it wouldn't be complete without sharing how this year's crop of OH handled the heat, hangovers and first taste of 'egg' for the 2019/20 season.

On the back of a terrific Wednesday night session on the common, the OH chaps chaps chaps were ready once again to lock horns with old foes OWs and newly-promoted to Surrey 2, Old Caterhams.

The seconds kicked off an arm wrestle of a game. New number 10 Toby Sitch got a pleasant reminder of full contact rugby after a few seasons off, getting hit off the baller later than last DVD from Blockbuster you never returned.

But some leadership from Yash and Tom Baker, and the Henry Fellows and Tim Rozier making strong lines through the midfield, the OH continued to go forward despite facing a bigger side from Surrey 2.

OH took a handy 3-0 lead. Apologies to whomever landed the penalty I was getting dressed when it was scored.

Old Caterhams then appeared to run in a few unanswered tries before the OH hit back through Yash just before the end of the game. I had it at about 26-10 by the end of the match.

Some very fine debuts from Will Slatton, Sam R, Toby S, Tom B, Oli A, and a couple others was great to watch.

Yash, Dom H, Tom B, Tim R, Callum and Jake H, who successfully treated his body like a rental car during the 2 fixtures were OH's best.

MOTM went to Yash in the end and I've forgot the DOTD, I'm going to just say it was Hayden.
