maybe "great nudge, awesome!" ....

[QUOTE=NeverbeentoChinnor] Mr 'Awesome Awesome' nearly went a bit too early on one of those conversions .

never in doubt, I've spent 57 years watching conversions, I rarely get it wrong ... I don't think he struck that one quite as sweetly as the previous two, hence it deviated a little (and then kept on moving) ... but you live by the sword, you die by the sword ...

I thought Rams were worthy winners with very strong defence and red zone scoring which was effective and efficient. They have a potent driving maul and any penalty kicks to the corner are likely to be converted into tries from the ensuing lineout, so I can see why they are, with Chinnor, joint top of the table.

There is now a video with highlights of the scoring plays on the DMP website.

Thanks Fatbear and RB - seems a bit odd but hey ho!!

It is the same player. I presume he is on loan at Chinnor

Camquin wrote: From our chairman, Tim Hague. I do not believe it is a secret that the league size has been discussed - with options of 12 and 14 on the table. The key word is discussed, nothing is certain.  Cambridge would prefer 14, as we make more money from home games than the extra away trips would cost. And the gaps between home games this season have strained our cash-flow. Assuming the Prem stays at 10, it also means the Prem Cup then has 24 teams, so four pools of six. A decision is expected by Easter.

I assume this is Easter 24 for implementation 25-26?

Am I the only one who believes every team should know the promotion/relegation criteria at the start of the season?

Obviously, a team going bust would be the exception to this.

On today's evidence I can't see them staying up. Joe Browning taking another sabatical? Not sure Exeter's SA coach will thank you for featuring him in this report .  Promotion/relegation rules shouldn't be decided on the hoof.  Players from the Premiership and Championship who are in the process of getting coaching certificates do train with National league sides, 4 or 5 years ago Harry Wells from Leicester Tigers did some coaching at Leicester Lions and former Lions player Aneki Sio, now with Nottingham was also listed as coaching the forwards when they were in Nat 2 North.

I was under the impression that the changes were for the 24/25 season not this one
