Saturday 27th September 2025
It was a quiet Saturday with the 2XV and 3XV both off, which meant all eyes were on the Men’s 1XV at Havant away. Special mention to James Simmons who played his 100th game for the club against Havant. James has been a key part of the Oaks front row club since his days as a junior. He was also part of a hugely successful academy side that ended up going all the way to the national finals! Thank you JS for your long term commitment to the club - we hope you have a great day celebrating with your family and friends after BSE next week!
1XV | Havant 33-48 SRFC
After falling behind 21-0 in the first 13 minutes, the team pulled a determined collective performance out of the bag to fight their way back and secure a hard-fought victory. For the second time this season, Jacob Ivell made a crucial interception and went on to score a try. Matthew Engelbrecht made his National League 2 debut, coming off the bench to contribute to the win.
