Langley beat John Cleveland College 27 - 12. A full write-up can be found on the Daily Mail and RFU web-sites. 5 Apr - Tues 4th April - Beccs IRON Man Competition The Social Committee held the inagural Beccs 'Iron Man' competition last night with 8 entrants. The event was a simple exercise of drinking, eating, and running in between, but all contestants needed to keep everything that they had consumed inside them by the time that they finished. Hightower was the first faller, as he was unable to complete the first drinking exercise after only 30 seconds – Pathetic! The rest got into the event with Tom and Danny taking early leads. The raw onion proved a bit of a struggle for most and the ultimate undoing of 3 more contestants by the end of the second lap. However, by the end of the 3rd lap there were still 4 left. Tom Warne eventually won - but is still running around after eating the final task - the raw chilli. Danny Kemp came a debatable second as he completed all of the tasks, but, as on more than one occasion he failed to keep things inside, and in strick keeping within the initial rules, second place therefore went to Ben Thirkettle, who did keep everything down and was only a couple of seconds behind Danny anyway. The final place and the last finisher was Matt Appleton displaying great strength of mind over matter! Has anyone seen Tom – or is he still running! 3 Apr - Sat 8th April - Jammin' Night The Social Committee would like anyone who can play an instrument to bring it down on Saturday night for a Jammin' Session and sing-a-long to celebrate the Winning of Kent League 1 and the success of other sides in their various Leagues. 2 Apr - U10s, U11s and U12s all played in the Kent Mini Festival today. The U12s preformed brilliantly to reach the Cup Final without conceeding a try all day and beating Canterbury, last years winners, on route. There they met Cranbrook (last years runners-up) and a Cranbrook try just before half-time was the only difference between the two sides at the end of the match, resulting in Beccs coming Runners-up. The U11s also did themeselves and the club proud getting through to the Semi-Final of the main Cup competiton and drew, but then devistatingly went out on try count-back from previous pool round matches. The U10s also made it through to the Bowl Final but were unlucky in this match and also came runners-up. Well done everyone - fantastic results, and congratulations to the U12s on becoming Kent Cup Runners-up.   - March 2006 -   26 Mar - U13, U14, U15 and U17s all played in the Kent Festival Finals Day today. The U13s were first up in the Cup Final and put in a good and whole-hearted performance against Blackheath, but eventually went down 12-5. The U14s then played Ashford and won the Plate Final 8-5, with the decision to take 3 points from a penalty 5 minutes into the game proving crucial. The U15s beat Thanet Wanderers in the Bowl Final and dominated the game to win 31-3. The U17s also played in the Bowl Final, beating Aylesford 7-0 to make it a hat-trick of victories for the club in one day.
