A moment they might have been glad to miss was last week's tense first half performance at Bishop's Strotford - which laid the way for a solid second half display and big W on the road.

It wasn't just the First XV who came away smiling - the Titans did too sealing the first W of the day of the doubleheader fixture. 

On Sunday the colts continued the drama as they clinched victory from defeat against a very strong Ivybridge side to move on to the semi-finals of the colts cup!

A great win last Saturday closes off the home fixtures of this cracking season. The podcast trio discuss the Richmond fixture as well as the deserving win of Chinnor as National One Champions this year.

They also look at the dramatic fixtures at the other end of the table where it's all still to play for all teams!

We have a week off this coming weekend, but best of luck to all RAMS sides turning out a squad this week.
