Anything you can do -

I can do better ! The President's men in attack and defence

Sussex Presidents XV win a close match in Surrey.
In a well contested match where both sides played some enterprising rugby, it was Sussex who just seemed to have a slight edge over the home side. The two packs were well contested with some outstanding performances from several individuals on both sides. Surrey full back Ed Hicks then missed a simple penalty chance, while his Sussex compatriot Ryan then fluffed a similar opportunity.
A good break by the Sussex backs and a missed tackle let winger Acres in for a try, which full back Ryan converted to put the visitors
7 -0 in the lead. Back came Surrey and a good break by James Fentiman and Fred South nearly brought a try for the home side, but the final pass went astray. Veteran Surrey prop Jon Bunn then found himself isolated on the wing, as yet another chance went begging, through lack of support.

The second half began with both sides making full use of the rolling substitutions rule and strong commitment and effort displayed by both sides. Surrey scrum half Charlie Crewe used the ball wisely and kept his backs supplied with plenty of ball. While replacement centre Tom Rose, looked lively when he came on. Almost against the run of play, another strong drive by the Sussex forwards and particularly flanker Whitehead, saw quick ball moved out wide to wing Byrne, who grabbed the second try of the match for Sussex.
Surrey then moved the ball swiftly along the line to No 8 Dave Thornton, who popped up on the wing and raced in for a try and the first points of the day for the home side. Both sides continued to threaten, but Sussex hung on for a well deserved victory, in this entertaining match.
