Still All to Play For
Adam Hookway22 Apr - 12:18
As the league rugby season draws to a close there's still plenty to play for around the country as TJs bow out away at Dorking
N2E Champions TJs head to second place Dorking on Saturday for the final round of their N2E campaign. TJs secured the title last time out with a convincing win over Oxford Harlequins whilst Dorking and third placed Barnes both lost.
The runners up spot is still up for grabs with Barnes away at Oxford Harlequins and needing a win. Both Dorking and TJs will be looking for a strong finish at The Big Field on Saturday at 3pm
At the other end of the table Colchester and Worthing are both relegated and just the two drop out due to changes being made to the Championship structure
Richmond have been promoted to the Championship and Darlington MP relegated. The second relegation spot is between Leicester Lions and Esher and both are at home against Bishop's Stortford (9th) and Sedgley Park (11th) respectively. Leicester are 4 points clear of Esher and favourites to avoid the drop
In National 2 West the title has come down to the wire with leaders Clifton at home to Exeter University (11th) and Camborne away to Macclesfield (12th). With Clifton 3 points clear the odds are in their favour going into the final round. Bournville and Devonport Services are both relegated
In National 2 North Leeds Tykes romped to the title a few games ago but at the bottom the drop can still be avoided with Harrogate (47pts) Preston Grasshoppers (49), Hull (50) and Billingham (51) all in the red zone.
At Level 4 of the RFU pyramid Barnstaple have bounced back up from Regional SW1 and London Welsh are RSE1 champions. Brighton and Horsham were relegated from RSE1 with Tunbridge Wells avoiding the drop after securing 2 bonus points away to runners up Jersey on the final Saturday of games
Looking at TJ 2s and their Counties 3 Kent success this season that should propel them upwards to C2K where they will presumably replace Dartford Valley coming in the opposite direction.
If promotion to C2K is confirmed then TJ 2s will be tackling the likes of Maidstone, Thanet W, Aylesford Bulls as well as other 2s from Westcombe Park, Sidcup and Medway to name but a few
