Not wishing in any way to devalue Medway's victory but was rather surprised at the result Carlos.

Hi SirQ,

Lots of changes to our set up will take a while to bed in. 10 of our squad for Saturday came through our youth set up which bodes well for the future.

 I think you can sum it all up by the thought that Medway were in our 22 about 4 times and scored 3 tries and a penalty. We were camped in their half for most of the game but rustiness, injuries, dodgy decisions (by us and the ref), and stout defence meant we came second.

No complaints and the younger lads would have learnt some valuable lessons. See you later in the season.

Medway is always a tough place to win at. The slope is outrageous when windy.

Indeed Rabbie and thanks to your 2s for softening Sidcup 1s up for us in the pre-season game.

Sorry Carlos you have to be of a certain age to understand that comment, Medway didn’t always have the beautiful clubhouse they now have, it used to be a smallish building in the same position as the new one but you stepped outside and it was a slope, and after a few Sherberts and with not a lot of lighting outside it was common to walk outside lose your footing and end up sliding down the slope and on the pitch on your derrière happened to me more than once 🤣🤣🤣

 So, match week 2 this Saturday sees the following fixtures:
.
Bedford Athletic v Harpenden
CS Stags v Medway
Hertford v Tunbridge Wells
Shelford v Tring
Sidcup v Colchester
Westcombe Park v Sudbury.
.
Any views on who might prevail, or just comment as you wish. This forum may not be known to some supporters, so am keen to encourage people to spread the word. The more the merrier.

Still early doors so I won’t talk too much.
Bedford Ath v Harpenden

Ath at home. No doubt wounded as the first game slipped out of their hands.

Tight match, thinking 4-2 to Ath
Looking forward to new beginnings.

Rugby Paper said it was because they played an ineligible player last year.

Last season Bedford Ath was £5 (was that the programme?).

Firstly Region 1, is fifth tier rugby, I have no issue with an admission fee.
Locally tier 7 football is £11, tier 8 £10.

Will confirm prices next week.

So over to you folks. How many of the other 11 clubs are free admission, or a admission price.

Enjoy the trip of season 2022/23.

Can confirm admission remains £5 at Bedford Ath.

I might be turning 5x next Wednesday. Yesterday’s match might have aged me prematurely. At 17-23, I thought Ath were down and out. The ref had indicated to some Harpenden players a couple of minutes injury time as the clock showed the second half tick away.

But to the delight of half the supporters (Harpenden you have a good vocal following) a try made it 22-23. The silence and respect for the penalty…wow.

24-23 FT

Thanks Harpenden you gave everything, thank you.
Looking forward to new beginnings.

Hertford RFC yesterday - 
£4 for members
£7.50 for non-members
U16s free entry.

It was a good afternoon at Hertford yesterday, as it always is. Vocal home support throughout. We (TW) looked better than we've looked for a while. Pleased with the result.

It always has been.

We definitely looked better than last season yesterday... and better than last week against Shelford.

It'll take another few weeks for everything to shake out and to get a proper sense of the league... but we have Stags (H) next week, who seem improved on last season, and Westcombe Park (A) the following week. WP look like they may be the side to beat this season. We shall see.

I'm definitely more positive than I was at the tail end of last season!

Stags seem to be improving, Sudbury yesterday play some great rugby really attacking style 
You're right about taking a few weeks to see where the league lies as absolutely no idea on some of the sides this year such as harpenden Bedford etc and for that reason I don't think the team to beat will be known till November time LOL
