We are very pleased to share our men’s 2nd XV fixtures for the 2023/24 season. ⁣
⁣
Despite winning Herts Merit 1 last time out there was a distinct lack of fixtures played, this was much the same scenario in the Essex merit leagues that contained Eton Manor, OAs and Hertford and with Bedford Athletic II being granted a slot in the main RFU Eastern Counties competition there was a threat of an even more sparse fixture list this coming season.
⁣
With the support of Herts RFU, we have grouped together with 5 like minded clubs to pull together a smaller but hopefully highly competitive league. The teams included are:

Harpenden II
Eton Manor II
Ampthill Jets
Herford II
Old Albanian II
Cambridge Development
⁣
This is a great opportunity to play against some local rivals as well as those from further afield, the season will be completed with a league cup competition.

The remaining fixture will be made up of double headers with the same opposition as the 1st XV with games to look forward to against Oundle, Old Northamptonians and Shelford.
