The academy 2nd XV continued their march towards the Kent Colts Division 4 title with a commanding performance on the pitch next to their academy colleagues and friends.
Tries from Will Brook, Charlie Drysdale (x2), Max Avery, James de Stefani, Gerran Prescott and Sam Keenor contributed to a 39-0 scoreline that could have been even more had it not been for a number of final passes that didn't quite stick.
The quality of rugby being played by the 2s all season has been exceptional, with plenty of players being given 1st team opportunities on the back of their impressive showings in the 2s.
What has been most pleasing of all has been the maturity with which players have gone about their businesses when missing out on 1s selection. There has been no self-pity on display at any point, and this has contributed hugely to the enjoyment of the wider group and indeed the 4 bonus point wins that the team have enjoyed thus far.
The academy 2s look forward to their final league game of the season next weekend away at Old Alleynians. The title is all but assured after Oaks denied 2nd placed Canterbury a losing bonus point back in January, but the lads will want to end on a high with a win and with it, the Div 4 title!
