Brighton College played some delightful rugby this weekend en route to their first final in The Daily Mail Vase at Twickenham in the U15 Daily Mail Vase final on March 31.
Full back Jake Jones has somehow escaped the notice of the Sussex selectors this season despite scoring 20 tries and he showed what Brighton are about by coming into the line after five minutes to score No 21 under the posts after a clever set-up by centre Dominic Reid. St Columba's enjoyed some early joy with their pick and go and levelled the scores five minutes later when scrum half Tom Sparks caught Brighton napping from a quick tap penalty.

Born: 1939.
Nigel Kemble-Clarkson (A. 1953-57) is a cheerful raconteur with a great sense of the ridiculous, and a practised eye for the ladies.
His comic teenage experiences in pantomime and early introduction to the allure of the female sex set the stage for the years to come. A spell in the Army, living the colonial life in Nigeria, provided an exotic backdrop to his early enjoyment of wine, women and song. His subsequent career at Lloyds brought opportunities for fast living and luxury travel, including residential interludes in the United States.
