Bridgnorth v Syston
Broadstreet v Sheffield Bromsgrove v SKiwifruithorpe Burton v Sandbach Doncaster Phoenix v Paviors Dudley Kingswinford v Oundle Newport (Salop) v Nuneaton Usual rules 1 point for a win 1 extra for 4 correct full house gives you 10 points. Good luck to all.

So........ an intriguing season awaits! Possibly 3 promotion spots up for grabs but who wants them? And who will be happy to stay where they are knowing there will be no relegation? Some of our clubs seem to have had 3 or 4 warm up games, others less unless they just haven't been publicised and some already have competitive County Cup games under their belts. Add in some probable Covid interventions and who knows what we'll end up with. Happy to be first on the scoreboard with my predictions in the hope that more will follow by the end of the week........ Here goes!
Bridgnorth v Syston AWAY The visitors to fare much better than previous visits to this level and I'm taking them to nick this one Broadstreet v Sheffield AWAY Sheff will have too much for Street Bromsgrove v Scunny HOME Promising pre-season for Grove, less so Scunny whose recent Level 4 experience won't be enough to turn over the home side Burton v Sandbach HOME Trickiest one of the lot for me this one. I expect both clubs to be top 6 this season, Bach possibly top 3 but just the fact that Burton will be desperate to kick off with a win at their new home swings it for me Doncaster Phoenix v Paviors HOME Expect this to be reasonably comfortable for Donny DK v Oundle HOME But not by much! Newport v Nuneaton HOME Looks to be some excellent recruitment at both clubs and Nuns have often spoilt Port's party in the past but I expect (and hope) that home advantage will prevail

I will put predictions up later in week.
T'will be interesting to see how clubs emerge, I will be watching more local games and getting back to real grass roots rugby clubs I have not visited for a while. Will be good to just be playing again whatever the standard it will be more entertaining than Lions or England. I expect some DORs will be peddling the tale of promotion giving more gate money and sponsorship yada, yada so my guess is some clubs will be seduced by this dream and will continue recruiting.

Bridgnorth v Syston = Away win (Bridgnorth saving up for a pitch that does not flood so reduced playing budget!)
Broadstreet v Sheffield = Away win Bromsgrove v SKiwifruithorpe = Home win Burton v Sandbach = Away win Doncaster Phoenix v Paviors = Home win Dudley Kingswinford v Oundle = Home win Newport (Salop) v Nuneaton = Home win

Might have a chance of winning this year if more dont enter!
Bridgnorth v Syston = Home win Syston often seem to struggle with step up
Broadstreet v Sheffield = Away win potentially 2 top 5 teams Bromsgrove v SKiwifruithorpe = Home win Scunny may struggle this year but not based on any hard facts Burton v Sandbach = Away win Fancy Bach to be there or thereabouts aided by beer tokens Doncaster Phoenix v Paviors = Home win Dudley Kingswinford v Oundle = Home win Newport (Salop) v Nuneaton = Home win. Newport my other prediction to be there or thereabouts |

My guesses for this week based on absolutely no previous info
Bridgnorth v Syston HW I assume North will be there or thereabouts again this season Broadstreet v Sheffield AW It'll be interesting to see who's moved in the midlands merry go round Bromsgrove v Sunny Scunny AW Got to back the lads good preseason training Burton v Sandbach AW Just guessing with the unpredictable Bach. Burton at their new ground though Doncaster Phoenix v Paviors HW Expect them to win on their plastic fantastic Dudley Kingswinford v Oundle HW Unless things have changed then 3rd team in the league usually struggle Newport (Salop) v Nuneaton HW The Salopians to win on the back off beating Lucs last week Good luck to all.

I'm sure it will take a few weeks to settle down and see how teams fair post COVID-19. The pleasing part for Burton is we have a new home (just, still some work to do) and we are fielding 3 teams on Saturday with a total of 58 players. I know other clubs are struggling for numbers so we've done well to retain and attract players. It made for a difficult selection and glad I was no longer involved and played no part in it.
Anyway, here it goes, based on no research. Bridgnorth v Syston HW - North normally always strong at home Broadstreet v Sheffield AW - Sheffield should have too much for street Bromsgrove v SKiwifruithorpe AW - Can't back against Scunny, kick to the corner, catch and drive Burton v Sandbach HW - was worried earlier in the week because we have looked a little under cooked but grown more confident as the week went on. The nucleus of the side from previous season are still there with some welcome additions. Plus the first game at the new game should see us home. Doncaster Phoenix v Paviors HW - Paviors impressed me last time around but Donny to edge it on home advantage Dudley Kingswinford v Oundle - AW - my curve ball for the week, why not Newport (Salop) v Nuneaton HW - Nuns looks well drilled when we played them pre-season but backing Newport, surely its there time, they have been trying for long enough It's just good to be back! |

Hi FP,
Sorry I missed the first week. Things are OK here although as time goes by there are changes. Did you think about giving us a 4 week grace before starting the predictions. I haven't got a clue about teams strengths? - nothing new I know!

So with the results in we have some league positions.
Good win for Bromsgrove (although I missed Scunny won the 2nd half) as did Newport with TB having have a change of underwear halfway through the 2nd half  . Many tight games among the rest although Sandbach look to be setting their stall out. So to league positionsBin licker sets off to a flying start with a full house, Running man, OFTD and myself missed out by one. League looks like this Bin Licker 10 Running man 7 OFTD. 7 Friendly Prop 7 That Bloke 6 Stinger 6 Club 1870 5 I look forward to having a beer with you all during the season once I've got rid of this Covid
