OPM Jesters 0 - Exeter Saracens 72

What a year it has been for the Jesters, after and strong finish to the 2008/09 season and the joining of the 2's & 3's to meet the fixture demands the team deserved the summer break.

The start of the new season brought some changes to the Jesters structure with Mark Hardie, Mark Beresford Ward & Ryan Yeoman taking over the reins from Nick Swain.  Huge thanks must go to Nick for his efforts over previous seasons.  A new team has started to be built with old faces, as well as new ones thanks to the continued efforts of Ernie "have you played rugby" Bolster bringing in new players such as Jake Neville. Andy Robinson & others.

The base of any team is a regular team to choose from which has been difficulty so far but congratulations go the players who have played for the 1st team such as Will "crazy legs" Grant and Irish John , also Tim Binding, Dan Wilding and others have had a little flutter in the 1's !

Many Thanks go to the clubs sponsors for the Jesters excellent new kit we hope we can do it justice with are performances.  Also many thanks go to Ryan "pies" Yeoman for his effort in trying to turn us in to a decent team with structure!
