Rugby Round-Up: Robinson and Emma Set For Promotion
The Tab brings you the latest results from rugby’s Division 3
The Tab reviews the Division 3 season so far.
Two sides will be promoted from the Promotion League to Division 2, whilst the four teams in the League of Shame battle it out to avoid being officially branded the worst team in Cambridge.
Promotion League
Robinson lead the way in the Promotion League with four wins from their opening five matches. A lacklustre performance against Emma last Tuesday saw them lose their first game of the term. However they bounced back at the weekend, routing Homerton 57-0 and now need just one point to secure promotion.
Emma are the only side with their 100% record still intact and look set to join Robinson in Division 2 next year. Their upcoming rematch with Robinson will determine who takes the title.
Despite overcoming Division 2 side Fitz in the first round of Cuppers, CCK (the combined team from Clare, Corpus and King’s) are still without a win. They narrowly went down to Robinson 13-12 in a thrilling encounter and with victories over Homerton all but assured they still retain an slim chance of promotion.
Whipping boys Homerton have scored just 21 points in four outings. The reigning college Sevens champions will have to put in a good run in Cuppers if they are to give their fans anything to cheers about.
Homerton utility back Jon Crook told The Tab his reasons for his side’s poor performances: “We fell foul to bad weather and even worse haircuts. Also our college are being absolute bell-ends and not allowing us to train on college grounds so our on-field organisation has gone to pot.”
