On Saturday Redruth welcome to the Recreation Ground Exeter University RFC with a 2pm Kick-off.

Exeter have had an excellent start to the season having won 6 of their 8 matches and are currently in 3rd place on 31 points. As I have mentioned previously the problem when evaluating a University side is that you never know what team they are going to field especially as the National Leagues comes second in priority to their BUCS Super Rugby fixtures. Indeed if their priorities were different and the National League took precedence the University side would probably be favourites for promotion. But whatever side the Students field on Saturday one thing is for certain is that they will be fast!
The Students best result this season was probably the 24-43 away win at Hinckley.
Exeter University's top try scorer is winger Toby Ferguson on 4 and their top points scorer on 49 is fly-half Ben Cohen (not we believe of World Cup and Strickly fame)!
Last season the two fixtures between the two clubs produced two thrillers with the home side prevailing on both occasions, Exeter winning during a September heatwave by 42-29 (Redruth being held-up over the line a frustrating 3 times) and the Reds getting their revenge in February by 26-20 when the weather was less favourable to running rugby.

The Reds come into this match hoping to make it 3 wins on the trot. After the 40-31 home win over Loughborough Students the Reds backed this up by winning 36-38 up at Hornets, watching the Reds is definitely not good for the old 'ticker'. The Reds win over Loughborough was by exactly the same score line that Exeter University beat them by, so by that reckoning Saturday will end in a draw!
Top try score for the Reds is Frankie Nowell on 8 and Jordan Gott is top points scorer with 36.

Look out for team news on Friday.
