REGIONAL 1 SOUTH CENTRAL

However repots from Welsh and Camberley show it was an edgy game with Camberley struggling to get themselves up for it and clung on in the end. Did you end up travelling Inside Man? Your opinion?

Welsh were the better side on the day, and must feel hard done by not taking the win. I thought their 10,12 and back 3 were magnificent and really capitalised on some loose kicking from Camberley. However the Camberley dominance of scrum, lineouts and maul kept them in it. Welsh had no answer for the Camberley scrum or maul and whenever they got a lineout within 10m you felt they could push Welsh over. 

A really exciting final 10 minutes as Camberley defended their line with Welsh battering away. Camberley repelled them several times, with the Welsh driving game struggling against the big Camberley pack. Camberley struggled to exit their 22 and kept inviting the pressure back on! Unfortunately the clock was not in favour of Welsh and they ran out of time. 5 more minutes and you felt they were bound to score!

One of the Camberley players looked to pick up a nasty gash on his head, I was pretty close by and hope he was okay. 

Overall a brilliant day out as always. I look forward to heading down to the return fixture later in the year!

Bournemouth (0) vs Bracknell (5) - Bracknell to continue their performances of late and start putting a lot of pressure on the top 2 

Camberley (5) vs Maidenhead (0) - Camberley should be able to get up for this after the reverse fixture and the sodden ground will play into their packs game play 

Hammersmith (5) vs CS Stags (1) - Could be a high scoring game with Hammersmith putting themselves out of reach in second half with their attacking weapons  

London Welsh (5) vs Horsham (0) - Welsh to get a big result here and dominate up front with their back three tearing up Horsham when they get space 

Tunbridge Wells (2) vs Havant (4) - Game of the week and could go either way with Havant travelling a fair way with two weeks off. TW will be smarting from their performance last week but Havant to edge it in a physical affair where they show their resilience 

Brighton (5) vs Marlborough (0) - The long trip to Brighton may be a bit too much for Marlborough as Brighton are always a lot stronger at home 

Should be a very entertaining weekend and any upsets will of course make it very interesting come the Christmas break with the bottom 4 scrapping for every point already 

By my reckoning, Havant will now have to play over seven consecutive weekends from the start of January (weather permitting).

EDIT - my mistake, there's a rest week in the middle.

London Welsh win big 61-12.

All but one conversions kicked this time, but still a couple of yellow cards.

Interesting we had Havant faithful at Brighton v. Marlborough today🧐 Marlborough got caught in traffic today, 5 hours on the coach getting to us & and then a late KO.

Good win for Brighton. Safe trip back Marlborough, good set of lads & supporters.

Bracknell vs Camberley will be the game of the week and will be exceptionally close even a draw 

Marlborough vs Bournemouth battling for points at the bottom to stay alive in the league 

Havant will be back and will struggle in the lungs after so long away but form is temporary and class is permanent so find a way to win as always 

Bracknell (2) vs Camberley (5) - Camberley back to same team after resting a few last week and Bracknell climbing the ladder at speed should provide the game of the week. High Scoring and entertaining game with Camberley to edge it but would not be surprised to see it go either way 
CS Stags (0) vs London Welsh (5) - Impressive performance from London Welsh last weekend and this will continue but wont have it all their way 

Havant (5) vs Brighton (1) - After some time off Havant to resume normal business against their bogey team but surely will get the job done at home 
Horsham (1) vs Tunbridge Wells (5) - TW still smarting from the game against Bracknell and bring back the winning ways with Horsham fighting as they always do 
Maidenhead (1) vs Hammersmith (4) - Hammersmith to edge a free flowing match with both teams very outside back orientated 
Marlborough (4) vs Bournemouth (1) - The battle to stay up begins here potentially for both sides with Marlborough sneaking it in the last 10 minutes. Potentially a very tense match 

Good luck to all this weekend with what looks like the Top 5 pulling away with the bottom 4 also already scrapping to avoid the drop
