National League 2 North

Once again in National Two North, there was excitement and change at both ends of the table and with us now nearing the end of the season, performances and results are vital.

A mass of mini and junior Tigers greeted both teams onto the field in this National 2 North encounter and at the end of the game it was the Tigers celebrating a bonus try win.

We are now the final stretch of this entertaining National Two South season and with six games left, there is still so much to be decided across the division so there is no room for error at this stage.

Director of Rugby Alex Davidson says his Luctonians side need two more victories before they can ‘relax’ in National Two North.

In the second reserve weekend of the season, the attention was all on sides fighting relegation, but with some stand-out result in all three National Leagues, there was drama across the board.

Despite having games in hand and being second placed in National 2 North Sedgley Park Tigers have had a torrid three weeks with games against Caldy, Stourbridge and this weekend Otley. Saturday’s game finished 27-26 to the Tigers.

We are now in the second round of reserve fixtures across the National Leagues and it is safe to say that survival seems to take centre stage across the eight games taking place this weekend.

There was no shortage of drama at both ends of National Two North this weekend as the promotion race and survival fight saw more twists and turns take place

National Two North has a full fixture list this Saturday after the reserve weekend last week and for Macclesfield, they can take one step closer to promotion as they enter the final stretch of the season.

This was the first reserve weekend of postponed fixtures across the National Leagues and the entire onus was on the sides fighting relegation and some took a huge step towards safety.

The first reserve weekend for fixtures that have been postponed is upon us and with 12 games in all taking place this Saturday, there are a number of talking points ahead of the action.

It was another weekend all about the relegation battle in National Two North and once again it delivered as Broadstreet and the Luctonians picked up crucial wins as their survival hopes are still very much alive.

Last weekend, there was elation and heartache in the fight for survival as teams in and around the bottom picked up crucial wins and fell to narrow defeats.

League leaders Macclesfield and relegation threatened South Leicester both score vital points in the dying ambers of their games in Round 22 to clinch vital wins in their contrasting campaigns.

In Round 22 across National One, National Two North and National Two South there were twists and turns in all three divisions at both ends of the table after another thrilling Saturday of rugby.
