We made our first appearance ever in the Papa Johns Community Cup away day to trip to St. Benedicts RFC.
Thankful to see a pitch in great condition after recent deluges the game started following an impeccably observed minutes silence.
In a very well contested match Sunderland took the victory and look forward to furthering our journey through unchartered waters with a Second Round home tie against Widness RUFC.
Our Cumbrian colleagues and their very own Rebel MC were magnificent hosts throughout the day which showed as most supporters from both clubs left the club house in quite high spirits !
Best wishes to all at St. Benedicts.
