Another mixed weekend for Newick sides as the first XV travelled to Plumpton and were edged out 12-6 in the local derby
Newick will rue a number of missed opportunities to have possibly won the game having come back strongly in the 2nd half.
Plumpton began on the offensive and dominated the opening 20 minutes of play before Newick came back into it. Plumpton opened the scoring early on to take a 7-0 lead before Kevin Byrne slotted over a penalty to reduce the arrears to 7-3 with half time approaching, then the game turned and with a missed kick to touch into a fierce wind, Plumpton crossed over to take a 12-3 lead at the break.
Newick started the 2nd half well and spent sustained periods of time in the hosts 22 and in a half where defence was on top, only three more points were added by Newick and the game closed out with the home side taking a 12-6 win in a well fought game.
Newicks 2nd XV had a better afternoon notching up consecutive league wins following a close 5-3 home defeat of Cinque Ports.

Newick 7-17 Hove Beefeaters | Hellingly 15-52 Newick 2
Newick RFC 1st XV crashed to a disappointing home defeat to Hove Beefeaters ending a run of three consecutive league wins.

The struggles still continued for the remainder of the half and Hove scored a converted try and penalty to lead 10-7 at the break. Newick came out fighting hard in the 2nd half and saw much more of the play with scrum half James Waylett and player coach David Hemsley putting in solid performances , despite this Hove scored another converted try and the match finished Newick 7-17 Hove Beefeaters.

There was better news for Newick’s 2nd XV who had a tricky away match v Hellingly II but came away with the points following a thumping 52-15 win.
Newick didn’t have it all their own way and despite racing into a 14-0 lead early on the home side fought back with two unconverted tries to reduce the arrears to 14-10 at half time.
In the 2nd half Newick dominated the play with some strong forward running from No. 8 Martin Parris and five tries from Centre Phil Richards, Jimmy Furzer notched up two tries and John Satchwill and Finn Gunn both crossed over as Newick ran riot scoring 9 tries in total to the delight of coach Wayne Thomas.

Barnes Green 1st (5-9) Newick 1st | Newick 2nd (0-21) Bognor 3rd
Newick again had a mixed weekend as both sides were in back in league action.
The first XV travelled to Barns Green and came away with a 9-5 win in what was a very scrappy but hard fought game.
Newick began the brighter side and created several good scoring opportunities following some good interplay among the backs yet it was Barns Green who opened the scoring against the run of play although they failed to convert the try.
Shortly before the half time interval Kevin Byrne reduced the arrears with a solid kick from a tight angle. The second half started with Newick looking to take the game to the hosts but despite dominating the scrum and spending sustained amounts of time in the Barns Green 22, couldn’t cross the line.
As the match entered the last 20 minutes Barns Green began to lose their discipline and gave away two penalties in quick succession which were neatly put between the posts by Kevin Byrne, despite a rally in the last five minutes from the home side, Newick held on to secure the points and a third consecutive league win with Tim Hemsley securing the man of the match award after an excellent all round display.
The 2nd XV suffered a home defeat to Bognor Regis III going down 21-0. After a bright start by the home side and some excellent running rugby from the backs the power of the visiting pack began to dominate and as injuries took their toll, the home side finished with 14 men.
