TJs played out an entertaining 18-18 draw at home to Bishop’s Stortford in the maiden National One encounter last Saturday.

In a topsy-turvy encounter, the hosts fell 7-0 behind before Mike O’Sullivan scored their first try at Level Three.

A Bishop’s penalty made it 10-5 at half-time, but TJs moved in front thanks to a Truman Sullivan try and Harvey Young penalty.

The visitors levelled with a penalty of their own before Toby Freeman made it 18-13 to Tonbridge, only for Stortford to snatch a share of the spoils.

Previously, TJs enjoyed a successful pre-season with a 27-19 triumph at National Two South side Canterbury, preceded by a 52-12 victory at Henley Hawks.
