Bath RL’s results have not yet matched the<br />
club’s undoubted ambition as, after wins in<br />
their opening two matches, they were heavily<br />
beaten at Southampton before going down<br />
to <strong>Oxford</strong>. A midweek game against Bristol<br />
could see them back in the winners’ circle<br />
and into the mix for the play-offs.<br />
Southampton has propelled them into<br />
second place in the table and last season’s<br />
Plate winners could yet reach the finals<br />
weekend again.<br />
COULD DO BETTER While both Bath<br />
Romans and Swindon St George A have<br />
been putting in plenty of effort, it has yet<br />
to yield results. Neither has won a game<br />
though the Romans came close to defeating<br />
the Warriors a fortnight ago. Swindon are<br />
perhaps paying the price of being a reserve<br />
side, with calls from the firsts<br />
Champions Portsmouth Seahawks’<br />
attendance record is not good and that<br />
could disqualify them from participation in<br />
the play-offs. When they are in class, they can<br />
show championship form as they did when<br />
beating Swindon 30-26 last week in a re-run<br />
of last season’s Grand <strong>Final</strong>.<br />
<strong>Oxford</strong> Cavaliers have yet to settle into<br />
the season but last week’s big win over<br />
likely to take players, the matchday team is<br />
not a settled unit and that has shown in their<br />
results. Both are in action in midweek with a<br />
chance to get off the mark.<br />
STAY BEHIND AFTER CLASS The main<br />
concern is Bristol Sonics whose only win this<br />
season has come courtesy of a no-show by<br />
Portsmouth to their Round 3 clash at the<br />
beginning of the month.<br />
They are capable of much better with a<br />
talented squad and their midweek game<br />
with Bath RL could see them begin a late<br />
charge to the play-offs in the second half of<br />
the season.<br />
