Who’s coming up?

Was it something we said? B&S will bring a certain "je ne sais quoi" to the league

If B&S achieve it, I bet it’s completely overlooked by BBC Look East.🤣

Rumour has it BBC3CR might cover the Ampthill v Bedford game. They ignored the reverse fixture Boxing Day. Luton Town play the night before, so maybe they are shoving the match on DAB, Luton’s normal slot.

Went to the game on Saturday, really difficult assessing just how decent a side Cambridge are against an extremely poor Tykes. They certainly play at a good pace and was good to catch up with Kieran Frost who my son played with @ Carnegie. Good luck to all the promotion chasing sides with just a fag paper between the 3......will it come down to games won? 

From my perspective Sale's promotion would bring two huge derbies which would swell the coffers of both clubs and generate a lot of interest but would almost certainly cut off the access to the 4 Sale Sharks players Caldy has intermittent access to. Nye Thomas, Ruben Birch and Ethan Caine have only played two or three games each for Caldy but Elliott Gourlay has played most of Caldy's games. They are all super lads and they will be missed if they are diverted to Heywood Road.

As between Rams and Cambridge it is a toss up. Two very hospitable clubs but as a vivacious young lady from Rams made quite a fuss of me when we visited last season ......I would slightly prefer Rams to Cambridge.

However having said all of that I think Sale will do it. They have stumbled at the final hurdle a few times in past seasons ...twice against Caldy for the National 2 North title and a few seasons later for the National 1 title. Their coaches Jonathan Keep and Tote Howcroft are very decent guys and after watching them against Rams I feel sure this will be their season.

Their two remaining fixtures away against Rosslyn Park and at home against Moseley don't hold any terrors for them and I expect them to get the bonus point wins especially if Sale Sharks ship in a few more pro players to bolster their rosta.

Says the man who does appreciate a well made pie

Whatever happened to Rosslyn Park and their advertising hoarding income. They were there and then blew up. 

Some very decent teams lower down though, Plymouth Albion, Cinderford and Bishops Stortford are all a handful.

Cambridge did manage to beat Sale H and A and but for a last 10 minute yellow card should have beaten Rams at home. Ifs and buts.
