What a S***show. It may be a bit of self interest, bearing where we are in the league at the moment, but I'd rather have four more league games than that nonsense.

WP return to form with a vengeance, their highest points in a game this season…. and with Tring delivering a massive result @ Colchester it’s looking good….

Things getting interesting at the bottom too now that CS have been dragged back into the mix. Sudbury probably safe, but some big games still to come down there too.
Fantastic crowd at Hertford on Saturday. Funnily enough, the match turned when we got a yellow card and yet another penalty against us 5m from our goal line. Sidcup rightly went for the scrum, conceded a penalty, and 2 minutes later we scored. Instead of being 10-7 up, they were 14-3 down. Completely set the tone for the rest of the game. Our young team have absolutely been through the grinder at times this season but they will emerge from it so much stronger. If we do stay up, us oldies are already getting excited about next season

The remaining fixtures provide interesting reading and lots of combinations, given that Medway can only get to 42 points if they win all their remaining 4 games with a bonus point, which would mean they will have beaten Sidcup and Hertford along the way !! Unlikely in my opinion given they have gained no try bonus points so far.
Hertford - 37 points - Points difference -87 Away at Harpenden, Away at Sudbury, Home to Medway Home to Colchester. . CS Stags - 37 points - Points difference -114 Away to Sidcup Home to Sudbury . Sidcup - 29 points - Points difference -197 Away at Medway Home to CS Stags Away to Westcombe Park . The key match is on 4th March when Sidcup host CS Stags. A BP win for Stags sees them safe, and I wonder whether CS Stags were holding certain players back last Saturday in preparation for this one. It would also mean that if Sidcup were to have lost and got two bonus points and had got a 5 point win Away at Medway, then Hertford would only need 5 points (possibly only 4 given the points differences) from their 4 games Similarly a loss for Stags with 2 bonus points and a bonus point win over Sudbury would mean Hertford would need 7 points (possibly 6 given the points differences) from their 4 games. . And finally Sidcup's final game of the season is away at Westcombe Park - Always a very nice, friendly game. I don't wish to predict the outcome of that one . So don't worry Carlos, your fate is in your own hands, 7 points guarantees you stay up. |

So many variables. I'd like to think we should be capable of 7 or 8 points from those four games; specially after our recent run of form. That came just at the right time.
I'm sure our friends at Harpenden will oblige.  (For those south of the Thames, Harpenden is our nearest away game even though Tring is our biggest rivalry).

Hi Carlos - I thought Hertford’s biggest rivals were Stortford?

What have Tring done to upset you ? I thought Eton Manor were your least favourites at present

Sadly Stortford have moved too far above us at first team level. Lower teams still knock seven bells out of each other on a regular basis.
Tring don't upset us. Two noisy, opinionated, one-eyed sets of supporters who clearly know that their club is the best in Herts. What's not to love about them. Going back a few years it was Cheshunt who got the special welcome. Funny how these things change. Our second XV played Eton Manor seconds last week. Like an old school reunion.

Do Tring not realise Bisop's Stortford is in Hertforshire then

Tunbridge Wells continuing to confuse everyone, not least of all our own support.
Very pleased with yesterday's result to say the least. It'd be nice to have a strong finish to the season... ... ... we'll see how that pans out! |

Cheers Ranger.
It's been very fine margins for most teams in the league all season. It's been fascinating, with far more than the typical number of unexpected results. Big match for you guys this weekend. I'll be waiting on the result! All the best. |

Fascinating day ahead. It could all be sorted or nothing could be decided. I shall be glued to the twitter feeds.
Either way, good luck all.

Yes - good luck Hertford, I hope you secure your place for a better season next year. At least for my mum and dads sake! Sounds like you have the foundations now for a much better season next year

Boaty James, I stood next to your Dad today at Sudbury, your mother decided to stay at home. At half time this seemed a very sensible choice as Sudbury led 35-10, we just could not get near their very speedy backs, not helped by us repeatedly kicking to them. I thought we could easily match the Bedford score earlier in the season.
Then the second half came and despite being down to 13 at one point and then no sooner were be back to 15 our centre had a second yellow card which meant red , we got back to 35-30 and hammered away at their line for the last ten minutes to no avail, but at least we came away with 2 points.

That's the league more or less decided. How on earth WP but 60 on Colchester, I will have no idea but congratulations to them for winning the league. Medway down and Sidcup on the brink. Now it comes to fighting for which cup clubs will enter.
