Maidenhead edged the first half and then ran away with it in the final quarter. Their forwards were tiny - I reckon even after our openside was sent off our pack probably still outweighed theirs - and we completely dominated them in the scrums but lacked the imagination to do anything with the possession. And our bulk didn't reallly help us in the latter stages, when fitness became an issue, falling off loads of tackles. Maids ran good lines (not surprising with Will Greenwood as Attack Coach) but it was like a training drill by the end. Quick and nimble on the 4G but I think they'll struggle in three inches of mud. A rude awakening for Welsh, sets up a bottom of the table clash with RWB next week.

Correct me if I'm wrong but maidenhead's pitch is now over ten years old and on our visit last season it looked worn out in places a fair few of our lads said it had hardly any give at all in it !

A good win at the lane yesterday against camberley. A minutes silence followed by a minutes applause for her majesty was observed by the large crowd
Camberley never got near our try line all game and their only points were penalties that we gave away! As always it was good to speak to their salad dodging D.O.R Gareth afterwards and look forward to the return game😁

Yeah, missed my first game home and away since last seasons opener due to a family wedding that I tried desperately to get out of, but the Mrs was having none of it I was kept in the loop by luke on our twitter feed and pete our resident stato and what a game it sounded like, from being 34-14 down at half time to nearly nick it at the end just falling short by a point at 39-38 was a great effort from our boys Also missed out on the harveys sussex ale at Brighton and had to make do with the dishwater known as corona at the wedding!!!

Apparently BBC Radio Solent will be at our game !! let's hope they give us more than 10 seconds air time...about time rugby at our level was put in the spotlight

Even 10 seconds of rugby would be a miracle here.
BBC 3CR, two Championship teams and the 5pm to 6pm slot football managers interviewed, up to five of them, and up to five match commentaries. If the scores are read out, it’s a bonus.

The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.

Just looked at the BBC Radio solent schedule for today and they are covering a national league football game at 3pm (level 5 ironically!) So I ain't holding my breath for anything other than " over to hooks lane where the game has just kicked off, now back to the football"

A good day under the shadow of the Kew gardens pagoda at London welsh yesterday (managed to swerve the £7.50 entrance fee and £2.50 for the programme by arriving on the team coach as per usual)
Thanks to michael for the hospitality and to Terwyn for some stories of previous games in the early nineties between us and welsh, also for showing us around the trophy room. (some great history there) . Some good banter with their lot afterwards and a few beers
The highlight of the day for me was our rolling maul, welsh couldn't cope with it at all and also coming away with a BP win Edited by HAVANT TONY - 02 Oct 2022 at 12:23 |

Hi Mark Yeah I did catch your bit that we charged £1 entry fee for the first ever game between Welsh and Us in 1990 I can neither confirm or deny that mate, a brilliant piece of digging on your part though |

Glad you appreciated it - couldn't believe my luck when I found it in a pile of old press cuttings!

Surprised how poor London Welsh have been, although would expect them to start picking up more wins going forward, equally S&E I’m surprised how poor their results have been. RWB look to be out their depth, Brighton we’re poor last year and don’t look to have improved at all, getting beaten by the teams around them, they could be in trouble.
Expect Dons to push on now

London welsh were bound to find a league where they found it tough, especially after the successive promotions they've had, they gave us a good game at their place and I expect to see them improve
We haven't been in much trouble in our matches so far apart from that first half at Brighton where it took 40 minutes for us to get off the bus ! Our game on Saturday against bottom of the table Wooton Basset was another game where we looked comfy especially in the second half even though we had a ref who did his best to become invisible by wearing the same colours as us, however he certainly made himself known by being a tad yellow card happy throughout the game Wimbledon look strong going on their results so far, but it's much too early to predict anything yet Looking forward to some carrot cruncher accents at Oxford Harlequins this weekend, never been there before so it's another newbie to add to the list and hopefully we come back with a win

Before the season started, this London Welsh supporter was going to be happy if we finished mid table. I'm still hoping we can climb that high. |
