They didn't even do the codes like last time?

Whatever the scope of the sponsorship it’s pretty disappointing there was no free pizza at any stage from start to finish

Same in the North hardly any re-arranged League games as the official line was no League Rugby after 6th April. Quite sure the only one's being played are Teams not entered in the PJs.

The league authorities in our area (Lon/SE) issued a dictat a couple of months ago stating that under no circumstances could any rearranged league games in L5 or below occur after April 6th, even if this meant playing at Easter. Not sure if this was successful, or overtaken by the cr@p weather in Feb/Mar, or similar dictats were issued in other 3 regions, but anyway...

That was the point of this wasn't it?
To find extra (different) fixtures for those clubs that wanted or needed more games.

194 matches are currently scheduled. 28 are walk overs. That is on top of those who did not enter. |

I doubt the RFU know much about this competition let alone care about it. Pizza doesn't go with gin and tonic!

Its happening again. The RFU really needs to put their foot down and punish clubs that are pulling these sort of stunts properly. Financial penalties or something if they really want this to work. But also, why on earth would clubs enter then back out so late when they already knew the fixtures? I bet this sort of nonsense wouldn't happen if we still had 14 in a league.

Certainly the end of the sponsorship. But then again, the RFU did run the Intermediate Cup, Senior Vase and Junior Vase without a title sponsor for years before the pandemic so I'd say it would still be capable of continuing. If they can actually stop the mass pullouts that occurred last season.

Apologies Bruce, RFU have changed our games so we DO now play St Austell not Launceston, and Tring not Bridgnorth

I think as TP suggested you've got to make a weekend of it for that distance... I'm just less keen to travel those sort of distances than I used to be. I'm only the photographer, but it's been a labour of love for nearly 20 years now. I'm happy at 70-90 miles from home... but much further than that and I start thinking about swerving it!

Bruce ONs are actually touring to Launceston not St Austell (but might partake in their ales) but your point is still very valid

Anyone fancy a U23's game on the 20th April, at Tring 12KO before our game with St Austell?
