Who is looking forward to another weekend of the most exciting league in Club Rugby (doffs his cap in deference to the Prem & Championship teams) ? Looking ahead to the Roth v Dings game: Speaking of the Premiership, Roth welcome to the Lane newly promoted Dings Crusaders for what I believe will be our first ever game against them. I am not going to get into the debate of our visitor’s connections with Bristol. Storty may very well say so but I couldn’t possibly comment 😂 We are a proud team but should our visitors from the South West prevail, then they will have earned it and no sour grapes from me. However, we are very much a club on the up with our own ambitions too. Anyone who has ever visited the Lane well know the great atmosphere the shed creates, and we have taken some mighty scalps down the years. We have played and beaten Bristol on numerous occasions, and two of my all time greatest games featured Bristol when, we beat them 16-5 in October 1998 at the Lane in a monsoon. That really was a statement win at the time. We also beat them at the Memorial Stadium 36-31 in Feb 99 but they had the last laugh when they pipped us on points difference for the Championship (then known as Allied Dunbar Premiership 2) title. Anyway, enough of yesteryear. Today’s team makes me very proud too, now presenting for me, our best team for 10 years and our best coach since Lee Blackett. Some people may think we are underdogs for this game, pointing to their Bristol connection and we know they are a formidable team who can cause a lot of damage as shown already. Having said that we are not in this league to make up the numbers either. Whatever the result there will be no quarter given on the field of play, but at the end of the game there will be as always, a raucous atmosphere in the clubhouse where both sets of fans will mingle with the players & officials to enjoy the true ethos of Rugby. This sets the game apart, and the authorities would do well to take this into account when planning the future of our wonderful game. Playing in quarter/half full football stadiums isn’t the game we know and love. Todays games are : 2pm Rotherham Titans v Dings Crusaders 2.30pm Sedgley Park v Bishops Stortford 3pm Blackheath v Darlington MP Plymouth Albion v Moseley Rams v Leicester Lions Richmond v Sale FC Rosslyn Park v Esher As always good luck to all teams, enjoy whatever game you are going to or if not, wherever you follow it, but I aim to commence updates following the 2pm start at Clifton Lane and you are all very welcome to join in. ------------- Sponges grow in the ocean. That just amazes me. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be if that didn't happen. |

Love your input Rothman. I hope the only team returning from the north with 5 points tomorrow are the ones that have their own players

As I said Storty “You may very well say that, I couldn’t possibly comment”. 😜 Good luck tomorrow but Sedge will be a little upset if I say I hope you win. Between you and me I don’t think he’ll mind if you pick up a couple of losing bonus points 😜 ------------- Sponges grow in the ocean. That just amazes me.

Sedge 12 BST 27 (BP) I’m actually leaving now to watch the dark side (RLFC) Bishop Stortford well worth the win (if they do) aggression application and intelligence. Excellent stuff boys. Have a great night and a safe journey home. All the best ST ------------- Give him one with handles on |

My pleasure 👍 Roth swept away a spirited Dings side by 5 tries to 3 to make it 4 wins out of 5. Much has been made of the Bristol connection but they are playing there to gain experience. Thing is Roth are a big powerful experienced team and ultimately overwhelmed them. Dings third try was in the last play so they kept going right to the end so well played them too. Oh and Storty - Great bonus point win for your lads. 👏👏👏👏 ------------- Sponges grow in the ocean. That just amazes me. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be if that didn't happen. |

Well played Rams, a try bonus point may come in handy for the Lions, not many will get those at yours I think.

5 points to Stortford and none to Dings. A great day. Seriously impressive from Rotherham again. Plymouth a standout result too, ending Brum's winning streak. Am catching up on the Sedgley live feed on YouTube. Cracking idea, would be great if other clubs did this too. Have a good evening all.

I was impressed by the young Lions side, they didn't give up and were unlucky not to get another try right at the death whilst camped on the Rams line. Perhaps experience told today. Nice to see a couple of Celebs on the side line supporting their son too  ------------- Enjoying life! |

That young man may well have inherited his Dads international talent, will not be surprised if he rises to the very top.
