South West Premier - Week 20 - National League Rugby Discussion Forums

Thanks to FP for putting the table together so swiftly and we crack straight on with the next round of matches on Saturday 16 February. They are;

Barnstaple v Exeter University

Bracknell v Cleve

Brixham v Camborne

Newton Abbot v Ivybridge

Old Patesians v Exmouth

Weston-super-Mare v Maidenhead

Bournemouth v Drybrook

There are some real tasty ones with a couple of Devon derbies and tough trips on the road for Cleve and Maidenhead, again. The Bracknell v Cleve is a real tussle as it could open up a gap to the bottom 3. I'm going to say that this is one of the toughest weeks and don't reckon we'll see any bonus points...

Cheers

It is rumoured and alleged that N Abbot have decided to stop paying players - consequently players are leaving and not playing - at least 4 yesterday at Exmouth including the captain!!

apparently it is all to do with money - what price club loyalty??

This weeks guesses.

Barnstaple v Exeter University HW Barum strong at home, Uni form team but not too good on the road

Bracknell v Cleve HW very marginal this especially with little between the teams in the league & Bracknell have only lost twice at home this season.

Brixham v Camborne HW Fishermen back on it after a few close defeats and are better at home than Camborne are away despite the new signing.

Newton Abbot v Ivybridge AW Ivybridge back to it after a poor run of form. Nabs unfortunately have taken the route that suits them best and if it keeps them sustainable that's what counts.

Old Patesians v Exmouth AW Exmouth have had 2 away draws against good sides I daren't sit on the fence for fear of splinters.

Weston-super-Mare v Maidenhead HW Think WSM just marginally better at home than Maids away just hope I don't finish up having a mare

Bournemouth v Drybrook HW Bournemouth to strengthen their grip on the title although Drybrook hitting a good patch of form.

There you go CM all sorted and no splinters LOL

You sitting on the fence again for the Old Pats v Exmouth game?? You know what you get!!

You'll notice I've not put my usual logic and comments after the results I'd got them already and then had to dash out to a job so my intention was to go back in and edit them. It was bad enough getting splinters in my fingers last week. Don't need any more.

Dont want to leave too late, so hear goes;

Barnstaple v Exeter University - With the ground drying out, could a tight one but Barum to nick it

Bracknell v Cleve - Cleve have done well recently and should take this depending on the team they take up the M4

Brixham v Camborne - Going to be a cracking match

Newton Abbot v Ivybridge - Too strong in this Devon derby

Old Patesians v Exmouth - But might be closer than you think

Weston-super-Mare v Maidenhead - Maids to pip this one, just.

Bournemouth v Drybrook - Bournemouth to prevail

Cheers

Think Newton's woes may continue as Mr Jess may or may not have resigned with immediate effect, depending upon which report you listen to, clearly some issues.
