Nat2S status 2019-2020

In addition, they fielded what appeared to be a lawn mower on the left wing.  I was confused at first but was later advised it was one of several Suffolk Colts in the side, which was re-assuring.  They do have a youth policy of home grown (and trimmed) players. 

All in jest of course

Another very good win for Leicester......their outstanding defence continues to stand them in good stead.

Can they or Clifton gatecrash the promotion battle ?   We will have to wait and see, but both are on very strong runs of form.

If anything, this league seems to be getting tougher as the weeks go by ?   I suspect that away wins in particular, will become very difficult to come by for all teams in the fixtures ahead.  Having (potentially) five teams involved in the promotion battle and maybe another five involved in the relegation battle, makes for a lot of very motivated sides.  much fun ahead 

Either way......the Lions lads with the shirt on played well and IMO, the guys playing at 6 and 8 , Godefroy and Cairns perhaps ?  ........were excellent.  Johnson and Hamilton in the three quarters were also standouts.  But I thought the result reflected the game overall, with Raiders the better side.  Well done again lads

I was a bit disappointed with the two red cards at the end.......it was a silly scrap between nearly all players and it will be a shame if either player gets an extensive ban. 

But all that takes us away from the bigger news of the day which is the outstanding efforts from the cellar dwellers.  Hard to judge who did best really......they were all outstanding in different degrees and who can tell how things may end up at the bottom ?  I suppose the continuing efforts of Westcliff, particularly at home, might take the biggest headline.......Redruth and now Esher are big trophy wins and might indicate that they will NOT be in the bottom three at seasons end ?  

That said......who will  ?   Bournemouth win,  Sutton take Titans oh so close and Barnes win away at Woolams ?  Bizarre stuff.

None of this should take away from perhaps the result of the day......it seemed to me that Choppers were looking a bit fragile in recent weeks and Clifton juist mighty ?  

It seems that the Redruth defence has done it again and perhaps emulated their result at Dry Leas a while back ?  Great result regardless and a tough week for us predictors
