THE 146-0 victory by Worthing over Guildford last Saturday was watched by Worthing RFC chairman of senior rugby Dick Mowbray. His public report spared the detail in the interests of good sportsmanship after what he described as a "unedifying" spectacle.

It was thanks entirely to Guildford's nobility that it happened at all. And for that, Worthing paid their opponents full credit. But a lesser-spirited club might have stayed at home and given Worthing a legitimate 20-0 walkover. That would have been an outrageously unjust determination of fate, but a permissible option.

Guildford could pursue that route this Saturday and what would Ealing say to that?
