After finishing second in London one south, they faced a one-off play-off against Eton Manor for a place in National three London south east.

They were asked in the Observer to be heroes – and were. The Blues beat Eton Manor 25-16 in the play-off on an afternoon never to be forgotten.

More than 1,000 packed around the touchline to see the city club secure a place in National three London south east, the first time in their 88-year history they have played at such a high level.
