The Times 17th December 1999

Simply the Worst

Thanks to the powers at Twickenham, the Hampshire III side now stand officially as the most inept club in junior knockout rugby. Back in September, they lost in the first round of the Tetley's bitter vase to the University of Portsmouth, only to be reinstated after the students were disqualified for fielding an ineligible player. In the second round, E&R promptly lost 78-8 to The Law Society, making it the tenth successive year of failure for the Club. Their  Cup record? Played 11, lost 11 - points for, 68: points against, 508.
