East Peckham 21 v Maidstone Veterans 15
The Villagers had to take the field two short and without a full recognised front row which led to the rather unsatisfactory situation of uncontested scrums. The game plan was obvious looking at the average ages of the respective sides. The visitors preferred the mauling game of close support whilst Peckham needed to spread the ball wide. With Maidstone’s experience, the very heavy conditions and Peckham’s propensity to kick game plans into touch, the match was a closely contested affair.

Footscray III 15 East Peckham 31
The Villagers rekindled old friendships in a return to a once-traditional fixture, finding their hosts accommodating in every sense. Despite difficult windy conditions, the visitors attacked with such gusto that they ran in three goals without response effectively to end the match.

Shepherd Neame Mid Kent & East Sussex Merit Table C
Gravesend IV 35 East Peckham 7
East Peckham thus far are the only side in the table to have beaten league leaders Gravesend and that was by a last minute penalty to win by two points. Having then missed their last five matches through cancellations, cry-offs and waterlogged pitches and with the intervening Christmas break, the Villagers were exceedingly ring-rusty to say the least. If given the choice then the first game to clear the cobwebs would not have been against a rampant Gravesend side in a strong wind on a sloping pitch away from home.

East Peckham 17 New Ash Green II 10
Once again this season, the Villagers left it until the very last minute of play to wrap up victory after two weeks without a match. The end result might be construed a little harsh on the visiting team who have suffered narrow defeats two weeks running and the return fixture with home advantage will be interesting.
