Lions score six tries but still crash
They were away to Stourbridge and were beaten 52-34 and appear doomed after just one season at National League Two level.
“I don’t know what to say,” moaned disappointed Lions chairman Andy Moore. “We’ve scored six tries and still gone and lost.

“We did gradually get into the game and in the second half showed plenty of character. We knuckled down and scored four tries whereas they only scored two. Mind you the two they scored were breakaway tries and they came just as we were beginning to get within striking distance. That broke our hearts.”
It was 31-10 to Stourbridge at half-time. Tries for the Lions came from Christian Edbrooke, Tom Lewis, Nico Defeo, birthday boy Tom Gulland, Will Nankervil and Sonoma Veikune. Ben Young kicked two conversions.
