Sustained AEI pressure finally paid off with inside centre Nick Elliott taking a crash ball on the halfway line, breaking the defence and slipping the ball to outside centre Rich Pinks to run it in. Saracens hit back with a try and conversion after a good period of pressure but […]
AEI’s run of good results continued, despite both teams fielding less than the traditional fifteen players. The wet,muddy conditions and quagmire like pitch meant that handling was a challenge and the game was littered with mistakes. Amongst numerous scrums and lineouts, AEI were first onto the scoresheet when centre Neil […]
A good victory for a much improved AEI in this traditionally tough fixture. Stevie Neal was first on the scoresheet for AEI before Old Leams hit back with a converted try of their own. AEI then opened the gap with trys before half-time by Rob Goode and Chris Milner (his […]
A very late change in fixture and drive down the road from Old Warwickians to Warwick did little to upset AEI’s usual exhaustive pre match routine.

A typically hard fought local derby ended in victory for the home team. Despite the slope advantage in the first half, AEI needed an early Newbold try to wake them up and start them playing. The remainder of the first half remainded tight with Newbold playing to their strengths in […]

Inspiration came from stand-in ‘stand-off’ Mark McDog breaking through and feeding ever young Nick ‘Haircut 100’ Hayward to score and […]
