Apologies Rabbie. I had seen the Twitter/Instagram and Utube feeds from Blackheath and also North Walsham, but everything is very quiet elsewhere. Maybe with the new league looking so tough others are  keeping their powder dry.

Leicester Lions new signing

Seyi Ajeigbe signs from Westcliff where he had an impressive campaign last season in National 2 South. Seyi is lightning fast and can step off both feet. He represented London & SE U18's and more recently played for Germany U20's.

Head coach Gareth Collins commented: ''Seyi is a player with X-factor so I'm delighted to have him involved this year. He trained with us during the 2020/21 season that never happened and really impressed us with his speed and running ability. He joined Westcliff whilst he took a year away from his studies last season but we stayed in contact and I was impressed by the footage I saw of him and indeed when he played against us.''

Seyi commented: ''I am delighted to start a new chapter of my career at the Lions. Hopefully I can help the team achieve some silverware and make my teammates and the supporters proud.''

If he's good enough to get in the side, fine, if he scores the winning try that gets us promoted to Nat1 I'll let you know for sure.

No. it seems I am! I realised I had used info from Statbunker which is hopelessly out of date Happy to correct that according to GMS he had 16 starts, 3 sub appearances and scored 4 tries.

Apologies and red face - unlike Boris!!

No you definitely aren't related to Boris as you admitted you got it wrong Halliford!

But never ever rely on Statbunker.

Leicester Lions new signing prop Tom Williams

Tom began his National League career with Leicester Lions in 2010, playing 96 games across four seasons before pursuing a full-time rugby career by moving to Bedford in the Championship. Following three seasons there he moved to Rotherham Titans who were also in the Championship. Most recently he signed for Blackheath in National One as a player/coach where he has been for the last four years. Tom was also capped by England Counties in 2019 when he toured Georgia with the National League representative side.

Tom joins the Lions as a player/assistant coach and will assist lead forwards coach Dale Ager with the forwards.

Head Coach Gareth Collins commented: ''I am delighted to have got Tom back on board with us. He joined the club in 2010 when I was captain and I was impressed by his ability from day one. He is a consummate professional and it was no surprise that he's had such a successful career. He's a renowned scrummager but also has a very good rugby brain. He thinks deeply about the game and will be a great addition to both our playing and coaching group.''

Tom commented: ''After a few conversations with my old captain Gaz, and listening to his passion and ambition for the club, coming home to the Lions became an opportunity that I couldn't pass up. I was excited by the foundations for success that he has clearly already laid and I'm looking forward to getting involved and pulling the jersey on again.''

Canterbury, Tonbridge Judds, Blackheath, Sevenoaks, Dorking and Worthing are all within shouting distance of each other and will all be hoping to start well. The silence is deafening....  

From a chat with an ex player, i understand Dorking have signed (their words)

1 South African, an army player & they will also have a couple players also on D/R from Quins

Nothing official released to the membership at the moment other than adding Dylan Armytage to the coaching staff. Rumour has it that a lot of players have joined and that competition is intense with large numbers at pre season training. Dorking have 2 pre-season friendlies away at Stourbridge RFC on 13th August and Sutton & Epsom at home on 20th August.

Rian Hamilton (Back 3) leaves Wharfedale for Cambridge.

Superb player; elusive runner who'll take some replacing. Hope to see him flourish in Nat 1.
