For those asking - Last night fly-half Pat Bishop received a nasty knock to the head whilst competing for a highball. After being assessed he was taken to hospital. He is in good spirits and on the mend - we can’t wait to have him back with us. Thank you for all your messages. 💜

What a night.
Freshers beat Northumbria 2’s 36-30 in a thriller.
The 2’s defeat Birmingham 1’s 16-8 to get their season off to a perfect start.
The 1st XV beat Exeter under the lights with the last kick of the game infront of 4000 fans.
I just can’t get enough 💜

Straight wins. Two weeks in a row.
The 5’s down Sunderland with clinical 46-0 victory to take 5 points.
The 4’s dominate Hull 1’s 83-0.
The 2’s stay unbeaten with a 22-7 win against Leeds 1’s.
The 1’s win back to back, with a 5 pointer against Swansea, 38-19. How good. 💜
