BRIGHTON V HERTFORD NORTH WALSHAM V DORKING SEVENOAKS V TRING SIDCUP V WESTCOMBE PARK SUTTON & EPSOM V MAIDENHEAD WIMBLEDON V TUNBRIDGE WELLS HAVANT V CS STAGS
Game of the day is at North Walsham
Feisty game of the day is at Sidcup
Will CS even turn up for a game at our place, I suspect so with their appeal...wonder where their new players have come from?

BRIGHTON 4-1 HERTFORD (Hertford appear not to travel too well) NORTH WALSHAM 5-0 DORKING ( Dorking have lost a couple when it matters lately and NW seem to thrive when the chips are down) SEVENOAKS 5-0 TRING (No brainer) SIDCUP 1-4 WESTCOMBE PARK (We seem to win one lose one and so it's our turn for a win, Won't be pretty and I'm encouraging all the lychee's in Orpington to descend to add to the atmosphere) SUTTON & EPSOM 4-0 MAIDENHEAD (Coin toss) WIMBLEDON 5-0 TUNBRIDGE WELLS (TW are already looking to which beach they are holidaying at) HAVANT 5-0 Civil Service (Just hope CS turn up but Havant will be rocking and LOUD anyway)

MOTD up in chilly Norfolk, where Dorking can expect another full on battle with the Vikings. If they are not recovered from the 7Oaks encounter then this could be a long journey. The fight for 3rd place is as intense as the fight for top position and the Vikings and Hertford will take it to the last day. Good luck to all.

BRIGHTON V HERTFORD 0-5 Hertford showed a bit of the tigerishness that had been missing for the last few weeks. Expect us to keep up the pressure. NORTH WALSHAM V DORKING 1-4 A little head over heart, but Dorking will want to push for the glory of winning the league. SEVENOAKS V TRING 5-0 Just can't see our good friends at Tring doing this one. SIDCUP V WESTCOMBE PARK 2-5 Are Millwall at home? SUTTON & EPSOM V MAIDENHEAD 5-2 No idea. WIMBLEDON V TUNBRIDGE WELLS 5-2 Wimbledon a pale shadow of the team from pre-Christmas but should have enough here. HAVANT V CS STAGS 5-0 Who are the magical new players? Are they being paid? If so how much? Either way, Havant at home too strong.
Have fun all, not long now until Summer Recess!

Brighton 1-5 Hertford Brighton have picked up but think Hertford will want a strong finish to this season North Walsham 1-5 Dorking Looks like being a cold but bright day so hoping Dorking can keep close to Sevenoaks, but more importantly dont let North Walsham any closer Sevenoaks 5-0 Tring Sevenoaks should win Sidcup 5 - 2 Westcombe Park Could be a fiesty one Sutton & Epsom 5-0 Maidenhead Really not sure about tipping S&E as they always disappoint when i do, but here goes Wimbledon 5-0 Tunbridge Wells Home win Havant 5-0 CS Stags

From what i can see is 2 ealing academy players in the line up - and have played a number of games for Stags this season.
None of the 6 u20 6 Nations players are in the lineup.
It should be fair to mention, 2 of those said players played a Richmond Vikings side that beat Brunel 42-8 (The saxons beat them 48-0) in a league that is classified as being equivalent to Level 5. So whilst they may be deemed of a higher level amongst their age group, this does not mean the players are too good for level 5 rugby yet.

I thought you could only loan players 2 leagues away from the mother club
So that would be at Nat 2 level not Regional Prem league Unless the RFU have stepped in to help Stags get a side out

I think it may depend on the age of the DR/Loan player - certainly First year Premiership Academy players are allowed to play in Nat2 which is 3 levels away from the mother club.

A quick search turns up, "Loan Players
14.6.5 An application for registration of a Loan Player will not be accepted where: (a) in
respect of Clubs at Level 2 (Championship) and below, the applicant Club is more than
two Levels below the level of the loaning/parent Club; and (b) in respect of Clubs at
Level 1 (Premiership) the applicant Club is more than one Level below the level of the
loaning/parent Club. This does not apply to Loan Players who are being be loaned to a
Club in the Levels above the loaning/parent Club, subject to Regulation 14.3.5."
That's in respect of adult male players. I can't, on a quick search, find anything about Academy players and loans.
Restrictions on numbers of loan players, "13.4.4 Loan and England Academy Players
A Club may not play or select as a replacement or substitute in a Match more than the number
of Players set out below:...
(d) Level 4 and below: four players from another Club of which no more than three
shall be Loan Players and the others (up to the maximum of four) must be
England Academy Players under the age of 24 as at 1 September 2021. After the
Transfer Deadline, only those England Academy Players who have already played
or been selected as a replacement or substitute in a League or Cup Match for the Clubâs first XV prior to the Transfer Deadline will be permitted to be selected in
a League or Cup Match for the Clubâs first XV, unless otherwise approved by the
RFU Head of Academies."

I note your explanation makes no mention of DR players - presumably there is a slight difference.
'England Academy players who haven't played for a club before transfer deadline day can only join if approved by RFU Head of Academies' - this loophole has already been used by a team at level 4.
At the end of the day, it is never good to see a club go under, so the fact CS are still playing must be for the greater good.
Hopefully they will be able to sort themselves out for next season.

It was not the cricket score we were expecting yesterday at the lane. CS turned up and saved our last home game of the season, easily a thousand people packed the lane and CS gave a good account for themselves Was speaking to one of their supporters and the RFU had told them they must be competitive and they were exactly that! I hope their club secretary is ok as he was taken ill at the end of the game, he gave a great speech at the lunch, hope he has a speedy recovery

Erm...... let's get the maths right. Yes they have been promoted but at this stage only on the basis that they have already attained enough points to secure at least one of the two best 3rd placed finishes (More than the potential 3rds in the Midlands and the North are able to achieve) So yes many congratulations on your promotion but not champions, or indeed runners up....... Yet!

If my maths are correct the following clubs are guaranteed promotion from Level 5 Midlands Prem - Newport(Salop), Sheffield North Prem - Otley, Preston Grasshoppers South East Prem - Sevenoaks South West Prem - Exeter Uni, Old Reds(Bristol) So 3 more places still up for grabs, maybe 4 dependant on you know what

If 10 go up. Then 3 from SE. 3 from SW. 2 from midlands and 2 from the North. In the SE. As long as they win probably 2 remaining games. Both Dorking and NW will go up. Dorking can even do 3rd place with one 5 point win. And still go up.

Depends if they treat their home ground geographically or at Gatwick. I'd assume common sense would say SE because I am sure Guernsey themselves would fight tooth and nail to avoid the SW.

For the purposes of mileage Guernsey are treated as being based at Gatwick Airport.
However this is in a North/South level 4 split.
With the advent of SW and SE as 2 of the 3 level 4 divisions, I see no reason why Guernsey could not be treated as being based at Exeter or Bristol airports rather than Gatwick.
My reasoning for this - they are not geographically in the SE (or SW) so should be moved to whichever of the 2 logically has less teams.

Again, depends if Aurigny have flights at the right times. I know they have the proper jet (not those twin props) working the Gatwick route so there will certainly be more flights from Gatwick. I think it's probably just easier if the RFU stick to the current arrangements.

When did they confirm that best two 3rd places teams would be promoted ? I thought they reserved the right to pick last to on geography if need be and only top 2 in each league are confirmed as being promoted.

Absolutely no idea, however not to do so opens up all sorts of legal issues.
Not sure the RFU know themselves (or even if they are the right body to decide)

If it's picked by the RFU old boys club on geography, that's North Walsham and Blackburn out of the running then......

Makes sense. If 10 teams are required for the new structure above... The top two in each of the 4 x Premier Leagues plus the 2 x Best 3rd placed teams across the same 4 Premier Leagues go up... I think LSE Prem is in a very good place to 'take 3 teams up'. There are various quotes/confirmation on the shape of the new level 2 across other threads on this forum (particularly Nat 2 threads).
