I would say on the whole the results aren't too much of a suprise, given the different match ups. Early days of course, but Stortford, Richmond and Rotherham putting that many points on three of the stronger Nat 2 sides is impressive though.

Moseley 36 v Pontypool 19
Blackheath 40 v Barnes 19
Stortford 63 v Tonbridge J 21
Dings 36 v Bargoed 19
Esher 45 v Canterbury 26
Albion 52 v Camborne 12
Rams 35 v Aberavon 28
Richmond 52 v Dorking 7
Rosslyn Park 48 v Leicester Lions 12
Rotherham 40 v Leeds Tykes 7
Sale 75 v Macclesfield 5
Sedgley Park 36 v DMP 26

A couple of the fixtures to be played in the first round on Sep 7th that caught my eye were Rotherham v Rosslyn Park, Blackheath v Richmond and Albion v Sale. Should all be close and physical encounters!

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

should have been in the top 2 the amount of players and money spent the last 4 years  ....trouble is take them out of home comforts and the results don't flow..at home on the plastic not too many will get a result

Team news (courtesy of Titans Rugby for Rotherham Titans away to Guernsey Raiders (6pm) Saturday 24th August:

Rotherham Titans continue their league preparations on Saturday with a trip to the Channel Islands to take on National 2 East side Guernsey Raiders; kick-off at Footes Lane is 6pm.

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.

Titans: 15 Jack Townend, 14 Jamie Cooke, 13 Ronnie Du Randt, 12 Joe Mounsey, 11 Travis Gideon, 10 Rob Povey, 9 Max Green, 1 Charlie Capps, 2 Jack Bergmanas, 3 Andrew Foster, 4 John Okafor, 5 Harry Gilson-Fox, 6 Travis Gordon, 7 Harry Newborn, 8 Callum Bustin.

Replacements: Loma Kivalu, Luke Cole, Rikki Stout, Curran Maguire, Ben Copley, Zak Poole, JB Bruzulier, Corben Ollivent, Lloyd Hayes, Frankie Gascoigne.

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. 
Enjoying life!

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 Clap

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.

Surely not better than the village fete or a live tribute band in the pub garden!

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
