Who’s coming up?

Or as Pirates Fans used to sing when playing Yorkshire sides:

Oh I'd rather have a pasty than a pie,

Oh I'd rather have a pasty than a pie,

Oh I'd rather have a pasty, rather have a pasty, rather have a pasty than a pie.

To the tune of she'll be coming round the mountain

I'm avoiding promotion speculation at the moment but do prefer a hog roast.

Whatever happened to Rosslyn Park and their advertising hoarding income. They were there and then blew up.

Some very decent teams lower down though, Plymouth Albion, Cinderford and Bishops Stortford are all a handful.

Cambridge did manage to beat Sale H and A and but for a last 10 minute yellow card should have beaten Rams at home. Ifs and buts.

Cambridge are good at the ifs and buts......Cambridge were probably Caldy's toughest test last season .... a moment of magic from Nick Royle gave Caldy a draw at Cambridge and at the Paton Field Stadium Cambridge could have won with something to spare .......if they had not been greedy and just kicked their penalties rather than looking for a possible 7 points every time Caldy transgressed.

Sale are battle hardened and mentally tougher than in previous seasons...they won't choke during this run in. Rams and Cambridge need 10 pts and 15 pts if they are to wrest the National 1 title away from Sale.

Closest thing to a curry at Caldy (allegedly 😉)

Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny!

The challenge for next season's tour to Jersey mate is to try the Jamaican Jerk Chicken Pastie AND the Jamaican Jerk Beef Pastie followed by 6 Oysters (no hands of course but the shells are optional).

Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD.

So Cambridge need a 5 point win to be level on point and be promoted next week!

I can't think of a better tie-breaker, after games won, than more draws (which effectively includes fewer defeats as a corollary). You could go for points difference - Cambridge currently well ahead of top-three rivals on that count too...

I don't necessarily disagree with it - I just prefer the age-old footy way of goals difference (translating to points difference) acting as the first tie-breaker.

As you say though, that would still work in Cambridge's favour, so no worries.

Our City,
Our Club

Someone has told me that Sale FC cannot go up into the Championship, not sure why, have asked for info??

They've played all of their fixtures and are 2nd behind Rams, so they're out of the picture now.

Cambridge 59 Moseley 10

Bonus point win.

Promotion on match drawn against Leeds Tykes - what a season with 1,002.points scored!

Congratulations Cambridge welcome to The Championship. Another local derby for The Pirates - just the 666 mile round trip!
