Match Preview

Off the back of the superb win over Portsmouth, Tiffs face further Hampshire opponents this weekend as they travel to Trojans.

Formed in 1874, Trojans have a proud history and have in recent years played as high as London 1 South. This year marks their 4th consecutive year in London 3 SW following their relegation from London 2 SW in 2013/2014 and they will no doubt be hoping to improve on their highest finish of 6th place, which they achieved last season. They have certainly started this season well, with 5 games won from the 8 played and they currently sit in 5th place, 3 positions and 4 points above Tiffs. In fact they would probably sit a lot higher had they held on to the leads they held against each of Portsmouth, Old Cranleighans and Old Emanuel.

A bonus point win for Tiffs could see them climb to as high as 4th, whilst a similar result for the hosts could see them move up one space and into 3rd. Both would be dependent on other results however.

Tiffs will know that they will face a tough battle, as they always have against Trojans, but will draw on inspiration not only from last week's performance, but also the victory at Stoneham Lane last season.

Kick off is 2.30pm at Stonham Lane

Full Fixtures for Round 9 London 3 South West

The battle in Southampton is probably the stand out fixture of the round, however table toppers Old Emanuel travelling to Teddington promises a high score. Directly above Tiffs, Ironsides travel to Warlingham in a game they are likely to win, whilst above Trojans, Portsmouth will surely be favourites to defeat Weybridge.
