Old Grovians have started the season well and even though there are a few players still to return from long term injury the focus and quality in play has been a great improvement. Today lies a bigger test with a strong Old Rishworthian’s had a narrow defeat against Wath in the first week but bounced back with a convincing win against Ripon last week. Rish are a team OG know quite well after their encounters last year. They are a great Rugby club who are as strong in their play as their history as a club going back to 1930. From the youngest club in the league, if not the area, there will be a testing game to view today.
They are strong in their forwards and can play an expansive game when bringing their backs into play, A wedding and penalty awards may just have been Waths advantage in the first game but as last weeks results showed, when at full strength they are a force to contend with.
