Regional 1 South East 2022/2023

WP were outstanding today, from minute 1 they blew Col and dominate pretty much every facet of play, probably the best performance I’ve seen there in a long while 

Major wake up call after last week, by far the best performance of the season and as you say maybe a good few seasons before that. Congratulations all round. New coaching structure has paid dividends.

Twitter feeds for the Hertford and Sidcup games will be in full flow today I guess.

Surviving ended up being easy for you Carlos - What were you worried about a few weeks back ?

The news from your game may have taken some of the intensity out of it (the half time score was announced about 30 minutes into our game) but after what they've been through I'll let our guys off-a bit. I won't forgive the 4 or 5 efforts at a rolling maul, including backs, that merely resulted in Medway getting the ball back.  Still, it makes next weeks game meaningless which is a relief. Fingers crossed for a more Hertford-like season next time. We are particularly hoping we get Letchworth into the league. Their coach is a legend at Hoe Lane and was in the front row alongside our current coach.

Who knows, I believe the plan is to throw all the clubs locations into the computer and redraw all the leagues to minimize travel. So it is quite possible the lines around the middle of the country will fall somewhere else entirely. Though those at the extremities will almost certainly see less change.

Colchester’s end of season dip continues as they were well beaten by a resurgent Hertford, who ended up staying up with ease. Expect Hertford to be more competitive next year. That result allowed Shelford to take second spot behind WP.  TW end of season form alluded them as they were beaten at relegated Medway, who depart along with Sidcup.  Anyone’s thoughts on the league this year? Seems a shame to be done after just 22 games IMO.

The winger ? Electric player absolutely would be in my team of the season. mind you I remember our second row putting one of the biggest hits I've seen at this level to stop him scoring a certain try the audible oooffff from the Bedford crowd.
