After what seems like an age, the season started with a home game against Nuneaton.

Hopes were high for a successful 2011/12 season following on from 2010/11. The effort put in by the lads on the training pitch over the summer was rewarded with immediate effect. The morning was split into two games with the Sutton ‘A’ racing to an impressive 65-0 win against a plucky opposition.

Some good work from the new five man pack benefited the backs, Callum Aherne scoring 3 tries, Sam Grimshaw and Tyler Bryant grabbing a brace each. George Creed and Harry Mitcham with one try each completed the haul for the back division. Whilst Louis Hanlan and new boy Luke Reynolds opened their accounts for the season cashing in on a Nuneaton side overwhelmed by a well drilled outfit. Harry grabbed a hat trick of conversions along with Louis and George Creed pitching in with one score a piece.

After a short break and some wholesale changes in the line up Sutton ‘B’ continued the good work started in the first game. A more resolute Nuneaton side made the second game a more even contest, restricting Sutton to a 43-0 score line at the final whistle. Tight-head prop Luke Reynolds took advantage of a tiring opposition to grab a brace to add to his try in the first game making it a very successful transfer from Willenhall during the off season. Other try scorers were Hugh McMenamin, George Creed, George Pegg, Ben McElhanlon and Mathew Morris.

All in all, the good weather promoted an all-round (start of the season) performance far exceeding everyone’s expectations. Confidence is high for next weeks Sils tournament. Well done everyone concerned.
