27th August 2010 - Competition Update

As agreed at the last Competitions Meeting we will continue the format of last Season with a few tweaks in the later stages of the Bowl and Shield Competition.

The proposal is that the eight seeded Group A teams which will join the 2nd round of the Competition are:

South Leicester, Syston, Market Bosworth, Coalville, Melton, Belgrave, Loughborough Town, Market Harborough

The 15 Group B entrants in the First round of the Competition are:

Old Newtonians, Lutterworth, Oadby Wyggs, Stoneygate, Aylestone Athletic, Shepshed, Burbage, Aylestonians, Oakham, Anstey, Birstall, Aylestone St. James, Vipers, Leicester Forest and Sileby Town.

The losing sides in the First round will then compete for the Bowl and the 4 losing sides in the Bowl will compete for the Shield.

The First Round draw will take place on the 4th.September and hopefully we can organise the 2nd. Round draw on Radio Leicester as we did last year.

10th August 2010 - County Cup Competition Details

This Season the County Cup Competitions will be organised by Simon Chaperon - the County Colts Cup will be organised by Laurence Fenton. We are inviting entries for the LRU County Vets Competition as well as the 2nd. XV County Cup. All entries need to be received by close of play on Sunday 22nd. August 2010. Match dates will be confirmed when we know the number of Clubs entered. There is an outstanding game to be played between South Leicester Vets and Leicester Thursday Vets postponed from the Day of Rugby.

Subject to LRU Management approval we hope to establish a new LRU National level 2nd. XV Cup involving a round robin Competition between Lions, Hinckley and Loughborough Students (possibly a Tigers side). Details still to be thrashed out but it could involve their existing fixtures.

Entries to the LRU Spring Cup will once again be by the LRU President's invitation only.

As agreed at the Clubs Competitions Meeting the County Cup Competition will keep the same format as last Season with the County Bowl and Shield Competitions flowing from the losing teams. Only two Clubs did not wish to enter the Competition last Season - it will be easier for us to assume that you wish to enter again this Season unless you let me know by the 22nd. August. We hope that the Final will once again be at the Tigers Ground.

Regards - Henri
