For the second Saturday in a row Richmond Docklands travelled to Essex and returned to west London with two points after a hard fought five-set victory. This weekend they faced newly promoted Tendring at the University of Essex.
Richmond Docklands secured their second away win of the Super League season, moving up to third in the table by beating Team Essex Blaze in a scrappy five-set encounter. The Men’s NVL2 and Surrey League teams also tasted victory this weekend.
Richmond’s men’s side travelled to take on Tamworth Spartans in round 2 of the National KO Cup and returned with a comfortable 3-0 victory.
Richmond Docklands made a solid start to their Super League campaign with one 3-0 win and a 3-1 loss on a tough trip to the North East of England.
After three five-set defeats in row Richmond Docklands finally won a final set in a battling performance against Newcastle Staffs. The squad of just seven players travelled to Keele University knowing that a win in under five sets would secure sixth place. So when Staffs stole the first two sets after Docklands had been in control, the visitors just had pride to play for.
