I remember Simon, good chap. Glad he found a long term home and is back in N1. However, I am not sure his experience of National 1 will be much use, the game has moved on while he has been with you, and I suspect your promotion winning side was better than the Cambridge side that was relegated. According to statbunker of the current N1 sides, he played Chinnor, Plymouth and Club. Also, don't let him tell you he knows the way to Blackheath, they were still at Rectory Field.

Darlington Mowden Park have signed 21-year-old flyhalf Corben Ollivent from Rotherham Titans. It's interesting that Matt Minogue, who played flyhalf for Mowden last season, was previously a Rotherham Titan before joining DMP. |

Darlington Mowden Park have signed 20-year-old lock Ryan Gibson, who will hopefully be a reliable lineout target and a powerful ballcarrier.

Sounds like the Lions have kept the core of last season and are now adding in certain positions, some from outside and a couple from the development squad, I think one is the first from our minis/juniors to come right through to the first team squad.

Hope you are keeping better tigerburnie.
My goodness Leicester Lions are (a) retaining their players well and (b) recruiting well. Good luck next season.
