A remember looking at the numbers in the original Adult Game Review - way back in 2016. In that plan, there were cups for everyone. The support looked generous, until you factored in travel costs. The winning team could just about afford to buy the team a beer, and twenty straws. The runner-up was going to be out of pocket. And yet, it would cost the RFU millions. Because a small amount of money to lots of sides soon adds up. And as soon as teams start needing overnight stays, the costs mount. I believe the same was true in the last days of the old cup. I recall Cambridge's treasurer saying at the time that our cup run - including losing away at Old Deer Park - cost us money. |

I’ve been sent this which is apparently the latest update from RFU.
Finals still at Twickenham. “ As far as possible, all 1st XVs who finish top of their leagues at Regional 1 and 2, Counties 1, 2 and 3 & below will qualify for their Championship, and the potential to play in the final at Twickenham. The final of the Regional 1 Championship will be played on In the case of the matches scheduled for the weekend of 6th/7th May it is accepted that the overlap with the County Championship programme is unavoidable given the impact of postponed matches on the club league programme. National League fixtures will be managed as normal, with the intention of finishing the league season by the scheduled date. Please refer to your league secretary for further guidance.” |

As Regional 1 South East ends this Saturday, with a couple of catch ups, 18tn March, then Wednesday (15th?) is after most of the league ends. Madness sees one match scheduled in Midlands 1, 1st April. Could anyone make up such a mess? Edited by kempstonblue - 09 Mar 2023 at 15:02 |

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

Will games be held 6th May? Coronation Day, or just 7th May?

Yep, that'll be our (Kenilworth's) rearranged fixture at home to Lichfield. Which could still affect vital league positions.

Given that there are four competitions (Championship, Plate, Shield & Bowl) at L5, and three each at L6-9, I make that 16 finals to take place. In which case there will have to be a number of 'prestigious' venues, hopefully spread around the country.

You must be joking....... The Stoop, Welford Road, even the Rec people would love to have taken. But you cannot ever call Trailfinders Sports Ground "prestigious" (and that's not a slight against Ealing)

It's the irony of the governing body calling it 'prestigious' while Premier Rugby basically claim It's not fit for purpose.

Quite a few pull outs i've noticed. Even the teams at the bottom in the bowl have gone straight to knockout!

Cheers. WSM would have been a good road trip. Shame we're home. Though I'm sure our treasurer will disagree.

Some chunky journeys there - Dudley KW to Alnwick stands out = not much change out of 500 miles!
