Broadstreet RFC First Team travel to Sir Stanley Matthews Way, Trentham Fields for a return National League 3 Midlands fixture at Longton RFC with, unusually for February at this level, a 3:00pm kick-off. It is important for independent travellers to allow extra travelling time in order to negotiate the approaches to Longton's ground, as Stoke City are at home at the nearby Britannia Stadium. |
| This will be the Street's third visit to Longton's new headquarters, which feature a very impressive clubhouse set on exposed high ground, surrounded by industrial warehousing. The clubhouse is fully-owned on land leased from Stoke-on-Trent City Council for 100 years. There are a number of rugby pitches and other excellent sports facilities that have to co-exist with a very strong prevailing South-Westerly wind. Even if it's a reasonable day, wrap up warm. Longton are having an excellent season so far and currently lie third in the table, ten points behind Bromsgrove RFC, but with two games in hand. If they win those convincingly, Longton could be in the running for the automatic promotion place as champions. Longton have a similar 'points for' record to the Street, but defensively on average concede around ten points less per game. | |
| Top try scorer is speed merchant Wing Chris Tenucci who has bagged eleven so far, aided and abetted by Centre Scott Rawlings with six, his brother No.8 Gareth Rawlings with five, Centre Lee Brogan with five and Centre Luke Fowles, the brother of ex-Street Wing Josh Fowles, who is succesfully plying his trade nowadays at Level Three with Macclesfield RUFC, also on five. Kicking ace, Fly Half Chris Buck is fourth in the league's top points scorers list with 117 points. Street will be hoping for a reversal of fortunes against Longton who won the late October game much more emphatically than the 34-22 scoreline suggests. | |
 |
On Sunday Street Seconds travel to Old Laurentians RFC for a Semi-final of the Warwickshire 2nd XV Cup kicking off at the customary 2:15 pm. Intense rivalry between these two sides will ensure a lively encounter, so please get off the sofa, dust off the cobwebs and pop over to Lime Tree Avenue,Bilton for what promises to be a highly competitive spectacle. | |
 |
Street Beavers have a hastily arranged friendly fixture at home at the Ivor Preece Field Rugby Ground with a 2:15pm kick-of in front of the Street Faithful against Nuneaton Old Edwardians RFC . | |
 |
Please come along to support Street's Colts as they entertain Southam RFC in the Preliminary Round of the Warwickshire Colts Cup in a match kicking off at 2:15pm at the Ivor Preece Field Rugby Ground. See Broadstreet Colts face Southam RFC this Saturday in the Cup for further details. |  |
