Sevenoaks and Maidstone RFC Both Make It Five From Five, But East Peckham & Paddock Wood's Unbeaten Run Ends
Five West Kent rugby clubs were in action on Saturday, across three different leagues. Sevenoaks and Maidstone RFC both made it five wins from five, Tunbridge Wells bounced back from their first defeat of the season, and Weavering Warriors stayed unbeaten too - but it was a bad day at the office for East Peckham & Paddock Wood, whose own unbeaten start ended in a genuine top-of-the-table clash.
