Is the match still on?

Yes the pitch is elevated so shouldn't be covered in standing water. It will be wet, but not flooded.

See you all there.

Chargers won 12-6. Poor game with a lot of handling errors due to conditions. But chargers dominated territory, possession and the penalty count. Torfaen' story was the last play of the match.

Chargers into round 2, and Tony Rae was there, presumably to try and see at least one London team win a match this season.

Or recruiting

Royal Navy lost 4-24. 0-0 at half time with the Navy doing well give a ferocious wind blowing into their faces in an error strewn knock on fest. They will look at refereeing decisions for two game breaking tries but in truth Walney deserved it. The Navy didn't quite click today and the better team won. I believe a couple of Walney lads are ex Championship, it showed at times.

Congratulations to the Chargers and good luck with the draw.

Walney are a good team and come from good cumbrian stock.

Thanks to all of you who made the effort to come. Sorry the game wasn't better but after 4 months of not playing and a wet muddy field I think we did ok.

Looking forward to the 2nd round draw!!

Thanks for the support!!

You did more than ok. Appreciation to all the players and back up staff. There was a fair bit of niggling by the visitors and you did well not to respond. Some semi pro teams and at least one pro team could do with showing your teams commitment.

Good match enjoyed the afternoon

Me too. Home tie next hopefully.

Good to see you Paddock. Real shame it won't be anytime soon at the Hive. Allez les Catalans.

Well done to the team

halfdan who cares about the Navy you are an Aldershot boy! You will be pleased to note the Army won so hopefully will get a home draw in the next round.

Enjoyed the game....well done to the Chargers.....I didn't spot T R though....He wasn't in the hedgerow avoiding any queries from Padddock was he?

He was definitely there. Which was a bit embarrassing, because some of us had just been having a long conversation about how Broncos were stuffed, wouldn't win a game, stop-gap till oblivion next year etc, and then realised he was standing right next to us !

Awkward

Nothing he doesn't know

Very enjoyable day out. While the match was peppered with drop balls, it was still tough with some excellent defence. Most entertaining.

Atmosphere both in and outside the club house was good. The burger van was a nice touch to soak up some of the beer

I wouldn't worry, he'll have probably heard worse. He should use it for motivation purposes!

He probably will. Years ago he told me he kept critical emails I had sent on his office wall for that reason....

Gus once told me that my 20 point opus was stuck to the office wall at the club......must have been to cover up an old selotape rip in the paintwork

Gus could wallpaper his house with the criticism he gets.

With enough left over for a holiday home.
