Cents Out but Hertford Progress
Rugby Roundup
A mixed weekend in Cup competition for Matchbeat rugby teams
After another trail-blazing season for Hertfordshire's Premier rugby league team St Albans Centurions reached the end of the road in the National League Three play offs. Colin Baker's team found Bradford Dudley Hill Demons in unstoppable form in their Play off eliminator losing 63-10
Better news for Hertford Superblues. Their first outing in rugby unions Powergen National Trophy brought success at a price against Ealing. The Londoners who had knocked out Richmond in the previous round were beaten 28-16 but serious injuries to debutant Christian Cano and Rob Colbourne will keep them out for several months.
Richmond proved too strong for Old Albanians at Woolams and lead the Powergen London One table. Letchworth and St Albans suffered home defeats in league two north. Stevenage lost narrowly to Harpenden, Welwyn beat Barnet Saracens Elisabethans in a tight league three north west while Datchworth's match with Harrow was abandoned after injury to the referee
