LIVE RUGBY: SEAFORD SOUTHERN TENS | PITCH TWO

LIVE STREAM: SEAFORD SOUTHERN TENS | PITCH TWO The 2024 Seaford Southern Tens takes place this Sunday, LIVE here on NextGenXV as some of the best sides in the country gather at Seaford College. The Seaford Southern Tens has become one of the key staging posts in the season, in many ways marking the start of the short-form season. Year on year it has become a bigger and bigger competition, a short, sharp, and intense challenge for every side. Sixteen teams will be in action at Seaford College, split into four groups of four teams each. Group winners head to the Cup semi finals, 2nd place to the Plate semis, third to the Vase semis, and fourth to the Bowl semis, with Group 1 facing Group 3 and Group 2 facing Group 4 across those knockout games. Games will be 9 minutes each way, with capacity in the final for extra time which will be decided by golden point over 6 minutes of extra time each way. Since the move to Tens post-pandemic, Trinity have been the dominant side at the Seaford Southern Tens, winning back-to-back titles in 2022 and 2023. In this 2023/24 season they have not quite hit the extraordinary heights of those previous two season, but you can be certain that they will be throwing everything at holding onto this title that they have made their own. The reigning champions are drawn in Group 3, and it will be a tricky group, featuring 2022 Bowl winners Bishop Wordsworth’s, a newcomer to the tournament in the form of Canford, and last year’s Vase winners and one of the dark horses for this year’s tournament, RGS High Wycombe. RGS had an outstanding fifteen-a-side season with a young side and will seriously belive that they can go very far on Sunday. Hosts Seaford College will also believe they have a strong chance. They have got better and better in this competition since it became 10s, winning the Vase in 2022 and reaching the Cup semi finals in 2023, they will want to make that next step this year and have the side to do so. Again though, their Group 1 is a tricky group, featuring last year’s Plate Winners, Marlborough College, alongside a Solihull side that has played some delightful rugby this year, and a St Benedict’s side that always backs themselves in short formats and will fancy their chances of upsetting a few. Group 2 features international travellers in the form of Christ College of Brecon in Wales. Christ College have been superb for a few years now, really rising up the Welsh ranks. In 2022 they reached the final, pushing Trinity all the way to extra time, and they had a strong run in 2023 as well. They will be targeting another big run this year but they are going to have to work hard in Group 2, not least against a Hurstpierpoint College side that is one of the best that the school has ever produced. They are Seaford College’s great rival and they would love to claim the title at the home of their rivals, and this year they have a real shot. Joining those two are Dulwich College, who might well seek to pounce on the fact that a number of other sides will be missing players due to Premiership Rugby U18 Academy League commitments, and a side yet to be announced. Group 4 meanwhile looks heavyweight. Last year’s finalists Ipswich are the headline act, and they are having perhaps the greatest season in their history, which included victory over Sedbergh. Their only defeat of the season was to Harrow, a truly great schools rugby side. However the only other side to prevent them winning this year were Epsom College, the two drew in the Continental Tyres Schools Cup, and Epsom College are also drawn in this Group. Mouth-watering in the extreme, and Epsom have good history here too – they reached last year’s Cup semis and won the Plate in 2022. As if that was not enough, those two are joined by ACE side Gordon’s, who have enjoyed their best season in that competition this year, though will be shorn of several frontline players. It leaves Felsted with a tricky challenge in this group, and yet they are a real challenger too, having had an outstanding season. This is a group to keep a real eye on.
