AFTER A LESS than emphatic victory against the Cornish All Blacks at the weekend, we have broken the 100 point barrier in the league for the first time in Nottingham Rugby’s 130 year history.
With only 5 games left in the season we currently sit on 101 points which makes us equal second with Exeter.
Northampton beat Exeter on Saturday at Franklin’s Gardens in front of a record crowd for the league, 13948, which sealed the inevitable-their return to the Premiership next season. The hunt is on for the second spot though.
We performed poorly last weekend but good sides win ugly sometimes and even when you are not playing well, especially in the first half, to come away with a bonus point win was all that was required.
The season really hinges on the next two weekends but whatever happens this year it has been a fantastic year for the club.
Realistically at the start of the season we were hoping for a top 6 finish and after the first month that was looking unlikely but we have picked up the habit of winning and we certainly were not going to give that up as a New Year’s resolution or for Lent and we have gone from strength to strength.
We are desperate to finish second and will be working hard in training right until the curtain closes on this season.
The body is feeling a bit battered and bruised but the mind is sharp and against the best sides in the league that is where the game is won or lost. We are talking about very fine margins over the next couple of weeks but I am sure we can beat the best that this league has to offer and clinch second.
