The match against Lincoln was scoreless and Brighton were pipped 5-0 by Cobham and Richmond Coach Neil Thomas said of his Sussex champions: "It was like playing a county final in every match. They did as well as they could have done and didn't look out of place.

"Other teams and their coaches were very complimentary. They were also suprised we had an effective and committed minis set-up.

"The boys are a little disappointed they didn't go through to play for a higher place but they have done something not many players of any age achieve and that is to earn a place in a Twickenham final."

Other finals: Old Northamptonians v Cobham (playing for first place), Rosslyn Park v Richmond (second) and Hull Ionians v Ormskirk playing (fourth).

Brighton: James Kinsella, Kittow Onyett, Charlie Maltby, James Thomas, Louis Frith, Sunny Hall, Alex Spurgeon, Alex Maldon, Harry Leonard, Craig Holland, Darion Naylor, George Taylor, Matthew Ward, William Duffell, Sam Smith and Kieron Martin.
