The final of the Division One Plate has been cancelled following the withdrawal of Warwick University yesterday. The students, who usually only play home matches, were due to go to Onley to meet the Outlaws this Sunday, but cannot raise transport and the tournament has now descended into a farce. This follows the default of Tamworth Tigers which put Onley into the final, and the failure of Northampton to play their game against University. Many teams complain that they are not getting enough games, but this situation may mean that the Plate is removed from the competitions if teams are going to continue to withdraw.

The Veterans’ tournament, planned for 14th March has fallen foul of the special day reserved for Mothers. Several of the ‘Over 40’ teams who entered originally, had to withdraw due to a shortage of players when it was realised that it coincided with the celebrations reserved for the wives and/or mothers. It is planned to hold it later in the year.

Tile Hill Trojans and Premier Warriors battled it out for a place in the final of the Division One Handicap Cup last night and it ended with a victory for Trojans after a terrific fight back from Warriors who were 22 down with four minutes left. The other final place goes to Aylesford Hawks who were far too good for GAC and won comfortably. The date and venue is still to be arranged. The last games in Division Two were played this week, and there were wins for Warwick Juniors who defeated Tile Hill 3, and Westwood who just edged it past RC Rebels. Last Friday Westwood just failed to overcome Arden Griffins.
