Belgrave visitors to Fenley Field on Saturday

As seemed to be inevitable from midweek onwards, all Old Laurentians’ scheduled games last Saturday were frozen off, the 1st XV away at Stewarts & Lloyds, the 2nds at home to Silhillians and the 3rds at Bedworth.

Ironically, 24 hours later it would probably have been possible to play each of them as the rapid thaw set in, writes Bill Wallis.

The Midlands 2 game at Stewarts & Lloyds has been re-scheduled for Saturday, March 17.

This could leave OLs with selection problems as several players now have other commitments that weekend as the date was originally a blank one in the fixture schedule – but that’s the amateur game!

This Saturday, OLs 1sts entertain Leicester club Belgrave in Midlands 2. With just six games to play, every one becomes a ‘must win’ if OLs are to stay in the leading group and aim for the promotion places.

Their opponents on Saturday are one place behind the Fenley Field side in fifth, and although they are ten points adrift of OLs it will not be an easy task if the win points are to be claimed.
