That’s it,
Apparently members can attend an open training session.

Would rather go to Tring and see Ath.
Looking forward to new beginnings.

I don’t think many will turn up.

Sadly I heard we had 3 lined up originally, but as Saints progressed into the playoffs they wanted to move the game which then messed up the plans, so they had to try and find replacements.

We are missing a more “equal” team

Decent win for RFC, 45-12 against Blackheath. 

37 players used.... and i'd imagine not all recruitment finalised yet.

I walked down to Blackheath v Richmond last night. It looked like both teams started with their strongest fifteens which was the closest contested of the three thirty minute sessions. Blackheath seemed to be a handful at the breakdown whilst Richmond's offloading game caused a good number of line breaks and they were more clinical in their finishing. Blackheath appeared to  use a few youngsters whilst the Richmond squad seemed to have a good amount of depth. One of the Blackheath supporters told me he understood they are running a regular 2nd XV this coming season. The game was probably a bit closer than the score reflected. A thoroughly enjoyable evening of rugby.

Very entertaining match in the heat of the BPA.
Merthyr ran up a 0-17 lead die to the weight and experience of their pack. By half time though their were tiring badly in the heat and Coventry pulled back to 12-17.

In the second half, both teams having made 15 player changes Cov brought on a more experienced pack, and the game was much more even, and much more mobile.

A useful outing for both squads.

They looked young and fast. This was good in the backline, less so in the pack.

On a hot very dry pitch!!! I bet the backs looked very good. I would hate to be in the front row. Not nice at all.

The best of luck to Coventry and Doncaster in the season ahead.  

Cut the players some slack though. Pre-season is just that. Hard work 

All the best

12 Jimmy Gopperth

11 Nemani Nadolo

10 Freddie Burns

9 Ben Youngs
