The RL Derby : Thu Mar 24, 2016 3:15 pm  

Gott in Hemel! It's time for rugby league's premier grudge match.

Our squad for tomorrow's match at Pennine Way is:

Erjon Dollapi

Ben Gray

Mystery Man Chester

Sam Druce

Charlie Lawrence

Kazeem Fatouri (sponsored by the London Skolars Supporters Group - for it is them)

Alex Anthony

Sam Nash

Aaron Small

Joe Price

John Paxton

Jermaine Coleman

Michael Bishay

Dion Chapman

Ben Pointer

Michael Sykes

Eddie Mbaraga

Will Lovell

Dave Williams

Still without Michael Worrincey, but otherwise seems a first choice squad.

For what it's worth (2d) the Slugs are Kay, Hrbek, Toms, Lloyd-Jones, Rance, Stead, Isles, Stewart, Delaney, Coker, Green, Swindells, Bowdich, Petelo, Aichinson, Ross, Paterson, Booth and O'Callaghan. It seems very much a changed squad from last year.

I trust the team understand the need for another year's bragging rights!

An away win a minimum requirement.
Along with a doctor with a fully stocked kit bag.

Well we secured the derby win comfortably in the end. I felt we were physically dominant after the early exchanges and could have in fact won by more. Hemel couldn't deal with the high kicks and Jermaine's chase. We still have a long way to go but two out of three to start the season ain't bad. Good to see a decent crowd and there was a nice atmosphere for the game.
