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

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.

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. |

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! |

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

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.

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

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

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).

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. |

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

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….

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.

All clubs who choose to enter play in a pool of 4 against the teams that finished in a roughly equivalent position in South East/Central/South West (and same in the north). (2 South Pools and 2 North Pools) They play each other once with 1 guaranteed home game in the pool stage. Pool winners play-off in the semi-final against fellow South pool winners and then play the North champions at some big venue (Twickers for the Teams in the Top 2, unknow for the others) I think thats as clear as we can put it based on what we know so far. Oh, but the clubs will get a free 50% off Papa John's code that earns money for the club if people order Papa John's pizza using that!

I'm trying to write a piece about the cup for the programme for our final.home game of the season, but I don't think I can explain it clearly and succinctly.
