The ‘local derby weekend’ saw Saracens heading to The Stoop in West London to play Harlequins. Quins has the bragging rights after 2 victories last season. Saracens had 2 wins to start the season, Quins were yet to win their 1st game in the new Prem season. Both teams had their teams boosted by returning … More Harlequins v Saracens – Prem Rugby
Having watched England win the World Cup at the Allianz Stadium in front of nearly 82k, it was back to the Stonex Stadium for thir semifinal. Taking place in front of a disappointingly small crowd. Saracens opened the scoring through Deborah Wills out on the left wing, she had an easy run through after we’d … More Saracens Women v Exeter Chiefs – the PWR Cup Semi-Final
At the start of the 2024 season I looked into start times for the competition, it seems a good time to check finish times over the same period of time, with the majority of games this week ruined by the weather. These are the dates for Day 4 each year. September matches have been in … More County Championship Round 13 (14) – 2025
The business end of the season kicked off on September 8th, a week that promised a couple of good days weather wise and a lot of rain! Surrey sat at the top of the table 9 points ahead of Nottinghamshire. Notts were playing at New Road against a Worcestershire team somewhat adrift at the bottom … More County Championship Round 12 (13) – 2025
Another Kookaburra round, the last and only round of the County Championship in the school holidays. The next set of 3 rounds starts on September 8th. There were 3 Centuries in the first innings in Chelmsford, how many more will I find? I’m starting my write up at the end of Day 2. In spite … More County Championship Round 12 (11) – 2025
I had intended to be at Edgbaston for all 5 days, but a combination of picking the wrong place to stay and too many days in the full sun meant I drove home at the end of Day 3. Happily Sky offered me a month of Sky Sports for free, which was timely! A short … More England v India – Edgbaston – 2025
Division 1 I spent Day 1 of this round at the Oval and saw a good day of cricket, I’m starting to write on the morning of Day 2. Every team in Division 1 that batted first was bowled out on Day 1. 2 Division 1 matches were finished on Day 3 as were 2 … More County Championship Round 8 – 2025
A full round in both Divisions this week, happily weather didn’t have an effect on the rounds where teams sat out. 3 Counties started the round without a win to show for their efforts, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Lancashire. That would change, but only for 2 of the teams! I was at New Road for the … More County Championship Round 7 – 2025
As loathe as I am to relive this match, it has to be done. In their wisdom the PRl/RFU placed the local derby weekend diectly after the 6 Nations. That meant each team had to make a choice about whether they included their international players, well, England players anyway. Player welfare doesn’t seem to matter … More Saracens v Harlequins – The Showdown
We are in the 27th year of the Premiership, a competition that started as the Allied Dunbar Premiership and had many labels over the years. I thought I’d take a look at the winners over those 27 years. The 3rd column is for Saracens fans to look over the history of those years. Sports runs … More Exeter Chiefs v Saracens
