Richmond Docklands’ KO cup run came to an end in the semi finals after a battling display against Durham Palatinates. After a mix up over Durham’s venue booking the tie was switched to Kingston but Richmond Docklands were unable to make home advantage count against a powerful and athletic Durham side.
Richmond finally met the leader of Division 2 Oxford last Sunday. Oxford played one game more and was one point ahead of RVB. This fixture represented a great opportunity for RVB to state their credentials for a promotion. But it was Oxford that added valuable league points to their tally (3:0)
Richmond Docklands have guaranteed their place in next season’s Super League with a ruthless display against bottom of the table Southampton.
