Tonbridge's six of the best lead way but Dorking and Bames aces also nab spot

TONBRIDGE Juddians proved the league’s pacesetters, securing promotion back to National One, and their formidable campaign saw the Kent side dominate this year’s Dream Team with six selections.

Jordan Turner-Hall’s side lost only four times this season - one of those being a dead rubber on the final day against Dorking - as Tonbridge proved too strong for title rivals Dorking and Barnes.

The Dream Team is dominated by the top three, with second-place Dorking having three inclusions and Barnes having two selections.

Fourth-place Canterbury, fifth-place Westcombe Park, sixth-place Old Albanians and newly promoted Oxford Harlequins, who survived by finishing 12th, are the only other sides to be involved courtesy of solitary selections for their sides.

That means the other half of the league: Guernsey, Henley, Bury St Edmunds, Sevenoaks, Havant, Colchester and Worthing failed to be represented.

15. Alex Noot (Old Albanians)

A fantastic attacking full-back whose first thought is to run the ball back at the opposition. Twenty tries this season, many of them solo efforts from long range. The South African also does the basics very well; never shies away from contact despite not being the biggest physically, and is rock solid under the high ball. Guernsey's big and powerful 15 Anthony Armstrong also scored tries for fun.

14. Curtis Barnes (Tonbridge Juddians)

Having been recruited from Worthing, Barnes proved a try-scoring machine for the champions, acting as a key cog in their title pursuit, profiting from Tonbridge's power up front. He possessed a freakish strike rate of 25 scores in just 19 appearances, including hat-tricks against Henley, Bury St Edmunds, Worthing, Colchester and Dorking.
