On a heavy pitch in front of the Cowdray Ruins the Lions took on Midhurst 1st XV in League action. Putting the changes to the team sheet on the Friday evening to the back of their minds, the Lions set to work. Midhurst struck early with a ball bouncing from the back of the scrum and the advancing Midhurst Pack pounced on the opportunity. With a very slow game of both sides with the upper hand at any time, the only break through for the Horsham outfit came from Dan Crook out in the wide. His individual effort saw him crash over.In the end The Lions Lost 20-12
