We have arranged to play Carlton Camden again on Monday 6 February in the MacLaren Cup Quarter Final. This match will again be at the Melville. No handicap either way.

Holiday Time

Rats are resting up/ partying/ getting drunk or whatever Rats do over the festive season. Have a good one!

Back on January 11th for our next league match, Carlton Camden providing the opposition. By then of course, we will also know if we have to face them again in the Cup – they play their 2nd round match against Peebles on January 4th, so I’ll be on the hunt for dates shortly after that.

Rats cruise past Comiston in Cup

We had our first cup match of the season at the Carlton.

COMISTON 17940 RATS 18430

An excellent result (despite a rather iffy slam bid twice against us!) and we move smoothly on to the Quarter Finals where we will meet either Carlton Camden or Peebles, who play on 4th January. No handicap for that match since both are also in Div 4. In a potential repeat of the usual January double header, we are due to play Camden on the 11th in the league in our next match. Peebles of course we’ve already beaten in the league this year in a close encounter.

Comiston had 1200 of a start.

Rats scrape home against Athenians

Yes the matches continue to come thick and fast. This was a dramatic encounter as Athenians made a strong early showing to lead by 1590 at the interval, but sterling stuff in the second half brought home a win by 630 points.

Athenians 13080 Rats 13710

Narrow result, the percentage 2.35%. Just enough for 3 points, and 3 AMPs.
