Report of the season 2009-2010 1st team Wednesday


After a brief but effective preseason, the student season got underway in early October against old foes Kings Medicals. After a disjointed first half the medics ran out comfortable winners by 55-6.

Any illusions of grandeur prompted by such an emphatic start were quickly shattered in the next two fixtures. The first of these came away at RUMS. The medics underperformed and were fortunate to escape with a narrow victory. Apart from a dominant scrum and the ever reliable boot of Dan Neville, Imperial were second best. Next the medics clashed against intercollegiate rivals Imperial College at the wind tunnel that is Harlington. Few words can describe what happened next. The medics were drained, crushed and humiliated...... And that was just during Pete Halsall’s warm up.

Defeat prompted an early season rethink. In the subsequent weeks momentum was gathered. Convincing wins against the likes of St. Mary’s Twickenham, and Chichester created a renewed confidence. The squad began to fall into place. Fresher talent was barren, but the first team was bolstered by the additions of Masters, Cole and Nzekwue all of whom impressed in the early weeks of the season.

Tickets to Rugby 7's

On Saturday 14th August Middlesex Charity Seven's will be hosting their annual tournament at Twickenham.

The invitation Sevens tournament, first held in 1926, is one of the oldest Sevens competitions in England and the most famous rugby charity event in the world.

The first Sevens competition had 50 clubs competing with the finals being held at Twickenham. The winners that year, Harlequins defeated St Mary's Hospital and raised net proceeds of £1,621.

Since then, it has been staged in unbroken sequence becoming the largest Club Sevens in the world and, until the format was streamlined in 1992, had 300 entries per year.The arrival of the professional game had a huge impact on the Sevens and following discussions with the Premiership Clubs it was decided to relaunch the Middlesex Charity Sevens as a celebration of a new season rather than its traditional role as the finale.With the support of all clubs in the Guinness Premiership the Middlesex Charity Sevens remains one of England's biggest charity events and the major Sevens Tournament in Europe.

Throughout the competitions 83 year history, there have been many notable players to take part in the tournament including, Waisale Sereve, Martin Offiah, Lawrence Dallaglio, JPR Williams, Clive woodward, Will Carling, Va'aiga Tuigamala, Danny Cipriani and David Strettle, amongst others.

The Middlesex Charity Sevens has been extremely successful, and over years has raised well over £3 million in support of the Wavell Wakefield Rugby Union Youth Trust and the Middlesex County Rugby Football Union Memorial Fund. Currently the proceeds are distributed to the PRA benevolent fund and the RFU Injured Player’s Foundation.
