Last weekend Nottingham Rugby failed in their attempt to reach their first Twickenham final in the club’s 130 year history. The Green and Whites lost 16-8 in a hard fought EDF National Trophy Semi Final with Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park.
Both teams had to contend with driving rain throughout the game but considering the atrocious conditions both played positive rugby and Nottingham will no doubt be looking forward to seeking revenge on the Chiefs in their final home league game of the season at Meadow Lane on the 6th of April.
The cup run may well be over for Nottingham but there is still a lot to play for with 5 league games remaining. Northampton Saints have all but clinched the league title and thus their promotion back to the Premiership but 2nd place is definitely still achievable for the Green and Whites. Nottingham are currently positioned in third 5 points behind the Chiefs.
This weekend Nottingham entertain Launceston at Meadow Lane, 2:30pm kick-off, they then travel to Northampton before the Chiefs come to Nottingham for what could be the showdown for second spot. The Green and Whites end the season on the road with away games at Esher and Coventry respectively.
It was a huge effort by the boys last weekend and it was close but just not close enough. We will be pushing hard now in the last 5 games to try and clinch 2nd spot but we need all the support we can get for our last two home games at Meadow Lane.
Hope to see you down there.
