Despite the miserable weather almost one hundred friends and supporters turned out in the muddy conditions to cheer both teams on, creating the opportunity for gay men to play rugby in Brighton and Hove for the first time.

After a shaky start the Sea Serpents settled down and in the second half had more possession. The Steelers came out winners 25-0 with all the points being gained from tries, there were no conversions.

After the match both teams enjoyed themselves at the Bar at Hove Rugby Club before moving on to entertain their guests from London at the Camelford Arms who are sponsoring the team.
