Last chance to see the Reds at home this year

On Saturday the Reds welcome Dings Crusaders who make the relatively short trip from Bristol. Dings are no strangers to the Recreation Ground having made numerous visits during their time in the National Leagues. The Crusaders boast superb facilities with a new purpose built facility comprising of an impressive clubhouse, grandstand and 3G artificial pitch. The facilities may be new and shiny but the people are the same down to earth rugby folk that we have come to know and love over the years.

Dings are currently in a lower mid table position, winning 5 and drawing 1 of their 13 matches. Probably their best performance was a 17-0 away win at Canterbury. Last time out Dings won at home over the much improved Hinckley by 32-22 and now have 33 points with a -26 points difference. Dings top points scorer is hooker Thomas Anderson with 50 pts courtesy of a magnificent 10 tries, clearly a man to watch. Or is it a rolling maul to watch?

The Reds bounced back last week with a hard fought 28-34 away win over Rotchford 100 built on a great 1st half performance. It's amazing to note that of the starting XV only 6 started the first game of the season and only 8 were in that squad, this speaks volumes of the strength in depth of the Redruth squad and also emphasises the length of the injury list. The Reds are level on points with Esher but remain top due to having won more games. It's tight at the top though with only 6 points covering the top 6 places.
So far this season 3 players have featured in all 12 league matches, Ben Fox, Richard Brown and Frazer Honey. A remarkable 36 players in total have featured. Top of the tries are Jack Oulton 8, Kyle Bradley 7 & Steele Barker 4. Frazer Honey tops the points tally with 99.

Pre-match meals served in Richard Sharp Lounge cooked by Roseworthy Farm Caterers (roast beef dinner followed by cheeseboard) and game entry £25(£15 for members). Add a bottle of wine £10
