U'19 Eastern Counties Cup 2008
The team failed to qualify from the pool, largely in part to the heavy loss to Bury St Edmunds with a weakened side. Hopes of making up some of the points difference against Norwich were dashed when they withdrew. North Walsham did the same but were forced to play the fixture after an appeal of unsporting behaviour. The fixture was reversed to West Renault Park, Cambridge where Cambridge ran out 20–18 winners, which was not enough to make up the points difference. Rethinking of the walkover score will be considered for next season after it was changed from 35–0 to 15–0.

“My second husband was an American. We traveled all over the world and everywhere we went he would say to people, “I am an American. I am an American.” They finally shot him in one of those Eastern countries.”

“In poorer lands
No one touches the water of life.
It has no taste
And though it refreshes absolutely
It is a cup that must also pass
Until everybody
Gets some advantage....”
