A mixed afternoon on Saturday for the Lions as the As continued their promotion push with a thumping win over Hackney on the road. A 38-7 victory maintains the Lions spot in 2nd position in Counties Middx/Herts 1 just three points behind leaders Cheshunt with a game in hand.

Conversely the Lions B fell to a strong Chiswick 2nd XV. Finishing 21-7, this leaves the Lions B in fourth position in their table. But with Grasshoppers and Ealing hot on their heels they will need a strong end to the season to maintain this position.
