The firsts, captained by Kent county prop Terry Read, beat Medway 43-22 to put the final stamp on the league championship they had already achieved two games previously.

They finished the season nine points ahead of second-placed Maidstone and are promoted into London League One.

Charlton Park’s second string also won their league by a wide margin as both teams lost only one game each throughout the season.

They stayed ahead and finally saw off the challenge from Bucks Hornets with a 9-0 run in the last two minutes of the game to secure a second final four appearance in two years.

Thunder were led by England U18 international Kavell-Bigby Williams, who weighed in with 16 points, and an inspired performance from Hafeez Abdul, who added 13 points.

Lewisham Thunder, the champions in 2012, will now look to extend their unbeaten run in the semi-final against last year's winners Manchester Magic.

The season’s play-off finals will take place in Sheffield on May 4 and Lewisham will be the only side representing the capital in the U18 men’s category.

CANOEING: Bromley’s Peter Li joined up with Sutton Yeung from Kingston to completed the gruelling 125-mile Devizes to Westminster international race in 26hr28m, negotiating 77 portages in the process.

Starting out at 8.32am on Easter Saturday, the duo finished under Westminster Bridge at 11.00am the next day, supported by a team of friends and family who fed them as they ran around multiple locks.

The race was initiated in 1948 when a bunch of friends decided that it would be a good idea to do.

Fast forward to 2014 and the contest is now a lot more organised with multiple categories and a choice for adults of either a straight through race or broken down over four days, which is imposed on juniors.

Due to the extreme physical and mental pressures of the race, about 30 percent of participants fail to finish and are either retired or disqualified for being unable to reach specific locations within strict timeframes, the main one being the change in the tide direction beyond Teddington Lock.

Li said: “After finishing the race both myself and Sutton were agreed this was something we would not like to repeat.

“However, after a few days of recovery and further reflection, we are not too sure now!”
