Yet another, almost, inactive Championship week

So, as this fractured, disrupted Championship season continues, what plans do you have for this weekend?  

Just the one , rearranged Championship fixture this weekend, last night's, Friday, game at Lady Bay as Nottingham hosted London Scottish.  This was the game that had to be postponed due to the flooding that the hosts experienced at their ground.  Turned out to be a thriller, nine tries shared between the sides, five for the hosts with Nottingham almost managing to throw away a 31-7 h-t lead. A five-try first period haul was gradually whittled down by The Exiles, the visitors leaving with a couple of bonus points on their way back to London.  Sounded like a good game.  Att: tba

Meawhile, over in Pau, England Under 20's clinched the Six Nations Under 20's Championship title with an excellent 45-31, come from behind win over the hosts. Denied the Grand Slam last week as Ireland Under 20's grabbed a last gasp draw at The Rec, last night the title was claimed.  It is worth remembering that, the now Six Naions Under 20s Champions, England Under 20's, come to the BPA on May 25th to play Cov, a game that replaces the Jersey Reds fixture.   This fixture IS included in your Season Membership package. 

That's about it for me on Super Six Nations Saturday.  So, back to my original question.  What are you doing with another blank Championship weekend?  DIY, shopping, gardening? 

Back later in the week as we build up to a visit to another of Cov's , too many, field of dashed dreams, Hartpury.

Kenilworth v Derby Regional 1 Midlands (level 5) a certain Mr Boulton starting in the front row. 3pm kick off, £5 entry and 6 Nations in in the bar before and after!

Hope you enjoy the game. Might one of the last home games Kenilworth play at level 5. They are in the bottom 3 of the league with Midlands sides getting relegated above them as well. Not ideal for the mens section in the lead up to moving to a new ground.

Bottom 2 go down, RFU advised this at start of season. (Although their reliability is obviously not great on these things).
