I'm not sure how much should be read into these results. So many player changes throughout the game, trialists etc.

Team news (courtesy of Titans Rugby for Rotherham Titans away to Guernsey Raiders (6pm) Saturday 24th August:
Last week the South Yorkshire side began their pre-season with a fine performance against a lively Leeds outfit, who to be fair made them work hard for their 40 – 7 win. Nevertheless, Titans impressed by scoring 6 tries as they brushed aside the cobwebs and integrated a number of new players to the squad. The chance to have a look at more of the squad has been taken by Harvey Biljon, as a raft of changes sees just 4 starters from last week retain their place. There’s a whole new front row of Charlie Capps, Jack Bergmanas and Andrew Foster, whilst the second row sees John Okafor make his first start of pre-season; he lines up alongside Harry Gilson-Fox who keeps his place. The back row sees Travis Gordon retain his spot and he is joined by Harry Newborn and Callum Bustin. Along the backline there’s a new half back combination of Max Green and Rob Povey. Joe Mounsey starts for the first time in the centres and he is joined by last weeks starting full back Ronnie Du Randt. The back three sees Jamie Cooke retain his spot and he will link up with Travis Gideon on the other wing and Jack Townend at full back. |

After a close first half with the scores at 21-14, Coventry 61 - 21 Moseley. Highlight definitely the return to play for Moseley's Morgan Dawes after 27 months out.

Rams travel to Chinnor this afternoon for their final pre-season fixture. Looks like both squads will have around 30 players in their squads.

Cambridge 19-21 Stortford.
Only a friendly, but impressive win away to a championship side. With a few new faces and change of management I would expect Stortford to have a better season than last.

Two very good results there for Stortford and Rams. I know many people will say 'it's only a pre season game' and 'we don't read much into the scoreline', but the fact remains you have two local derbies being played out, with the teams from the lower league being the underdogs but prevailing in both.
Whatever they might say, Richie Williams and Nick Easter will be disappointed with those results, and will certainly have plenty to mull over before the Champ season begins. Well done to Stortford and Rams

Good point. Is there such a thing as a friendly in Rugby?

I can't speak for other leagues or regions, but definitely not when it comes to Rams v Chinnor and Stortford v Cambridge!
There is always a lot of pride amongst those clubs and these losses will hurt, especially given that they are competing in the league above now.

Attendance at the Chinnor vs Rams PSF has been announced as 1,200, which seems very good to me.

I was there, don't think it was that high, I'd put closer to 900. Great atmosphere though. Bank Holiday Monday preseason matches have got to be the way to go.

Was told tonight that Stortford went to uncontested scrums at half time against Cambridge. Probably had an effect on the result as Cambs game is built around scrumtime

So many Christians not enough Lions
