Coach Matt Corker praised Canterbury Rugby Club’s in-form players as they completed a National League 2 East derby double over Tonbridge Juddians this season.

They had to dig deep to secure their 28-24 triumph, a fifth win in six, at The Slade last weekend. It leaves Canterbury - whose recent form is only bettered by that of leaders Esher - sixth, going into 2024, having bounced back from the previous weekend’s 43-33 loss to Henley.

Corker said: “It was just a really proud day. “The week before, we, obviously, were really disappointed with the way we performed.

But the way we defended the line right to the end was brilliant on Saturday. “We could be a bit critical and say we invited some of that pressure - but it was phenomenal defence.
