After their narrow 21-17 defeat in Carlisle against Cumbria last weekend, East Midlands are lying in second place behind this week’s opponent Staffordshire.
With a 4 point gap to make up, East Midlands Senior Men will be looking for a bonus point win against Staffordshire this weekend.
East Midlands kick off their cup games this season with a double header for the Men and Womens teams playing at Northamptonians Old Scouts ground. Men are playing for the Bill Beaumont Cup and the Women for the Gill Burns Cup.
Having both teams playing at the same time and location is a great chance for the full presence of East Midlands Senior Rugby to be seen at it’s best. The weather forecast is for a dry and sunny day so the hope is for a strong turn out.
