This Saturday marks the beginning of the 2025/26 Counties 2 Sussex league season, and anticipation is high as Ditchling 1st XV host Brighton 2s at The Sty.

After a strong pre-season, the 1s are eager to translate their hard work into league success. With a forward pack renowned for its dominance in the set piece and a backline full of pace and creativity, the side will be looking to make a confident start and lay down an early marker in the competition.

It promises to be an excellent contest and a fine showcase of grassroots rugby at its best. We encourage all supporters, families, and friends of the club to come down, lend their voices, and help create a vibrant atmosphere for the opening fixture.

Kick-off is set for Saturday afternoon at The Sty. Join us in backing the boys as the league season gets underway!
