The city side are rooted to the bottom of Regional East Midlands 2 with a negative points tally as beleagured chairman Andy Moore continues to fight fires regarding player unavailability and a lack of assistance behind the scenes.

And on Saturday Lions host league leaders Old Northamptonians at Bretton Park (3pm) who battered an understrength Peterborough RUFC side 52-12 last weekend.

Lions have had to call on colts and retired club legends at times this season.

Borough will again field a heavily depleted side at home to Olney (3pm), but head coach Shane Manning insists his side will ‘front up’ in a match between the teams in seventh and sixth place.
