Last Gasp Try Sends Sidcup to the Summit
Sutton & Epsom 12-28 Sidcup
Sidcup arrived at Rugby Lane buoyed by the wheels wobbling on the Brighton bandwagon. Back-to-back defeats either side of the festive break by their south coast rivals had left the Crescent Farm team just one point off the top. For Sutton & Epsom their top five position, equating to entering the play-off rounds, was under threat.
It is with great sadness that we must report the untimely passing of Ben Searle. He gave many hours to the club as a sports therapist and mental health coach, helping many people through their own tough recoveries. Most people will be completely unaware of Ben’s various battles with illness, he looked such a strong, fit, happy and healthy individual. It is heartbreaking for all who knew him, especially all his close colleagues in our medical team. Ben’s funeral will take place at North East Surrey Crematorium, Morden on 12th February at 12.40pm. There will be some food and a get together in a pub afterwards. Rest in peace, big man!
