Well you were right Happy, happy now Smile, and the lads put together one of the best sustained performances I have ever seen from Barnes…we had so many unavailable players too in the forwards, but the benefit of our 2’s playing in the higher Raging Bull league is clear to see. TJs were incredibly gracious in defeat and are still favourites for the league with still have a game in hand, albeit a difficult away leg in Guernsey. We will be giving it everything for our remaining games, that’s for sure,

Is it confirmed the NCA table is correct, with TJs on 91, Barnes 89 and Dorking 88? (The usually-unreliable BBC has 89/88/87)

Just looked at fixtures:

Next Sat: TJs v BSE -- Barnes v OAs -- Guernsey v Dorking

29/3: Guernsey v TJs (their game-in-hand)

5/4: BSE v Barnes -- Dorking v Havant -- Henley v TJs

12/4: Barnes v Henley -- Canterbury v Dorking -- TJs v Ox Quins

26/4: Dorking v TJs -- Ox Quins v Barnes

Exciting run-in. TJs must be favourites and will become heavy favourites if they win their catch-up game in Guernsey. The Island side, BSE, Quins and Henley all have 2 tilts at the top 3 so could have a big influence...

Well played Park, thoroughly deserved to beat Barnes, and another great scalp for OAs turning over TJs, all getting very tasty at the top, particularly with Dorking smashing Worthing whilst the top two sides both slipped up.

The catch up game in Guernsey will be huge I wonder what availability both sides will have

Sadly, Colchester opted for the aeroplane rather than the rowing boat in their bid for a 'Great Escape' from relegation at the weekend....as in the film they got very close to the border but just failed to beat Sevenoaks who scored a winning try with minutes left. 

A must win game for both Worthing and Colchester on Saturday.

well I witnessed another worthing win today (a rare event), although it is a forlorn hope to avoid relegation. Game could have gone either way today v Colchester. 

must admit to being very disappointed with worthing's likely relegation, although dont understand the ins and outs of it all

Latest relegation spreadsheet - looks increasingly likely that N2N will get the reprieve and see just one side go down as result of expansion of Championship

Be interesting to see who goes where there is an argument for syston and oundle into N2E with London Welsh plus Leicester Lions or Esher coming down 

Looks like a rejig needed

21-49 on the island today, good win for TJs

Suppose the question is, is it conceivable that TJs will drop 8 points out of the next 15 available

Childish plus serious match official abuse then putting it in print is stupidity of the highest order as you say Cheshire exile hopefully will be seriously dealt with
