Battersea-based rugby club London Exiles are just one match away from a dream trip to Twickenham after reaching the semi-finals of the Powergen Junior Vase.

They will play Shropshire-based Cleobury Mortimer at Barn Elms in Barnes on Saturday (2pm) for the chance to visit the home of rugby for the first time.

Exiles, who are midtable in Surrey Division One, are the lowest-ranked club left in the national competition, fielding only two regular teams.

Their 29-10 win over Devonport Services in the quarter-finals earlier this month ensured the team made it through to the semi-final stage for the second time in their 15-year history.

President and founder Tim Edghill said: "Although we reached the semi-finals in 2001, this is a welcome return to a high standard for us.

"The idea of playing at Twickenham is every rugby player's dream."
