Interesting match at Hoe Lane this week. Macclesfield (National 3 North) will be visiting in the EDF Cup. They have an identical record to Hertford so far this year so should be a good one.

6 defeats on the trot , whats going on ? After the 1st game of the Season Old Patesians were complaining that Herford were a cheque book club who paid their players 250 quid a week . http://www.theforester.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=140221&command=displayContent&sourceNode=140204&contentPK=15329868&moduleName=InternalSearch&formname=sidebarsearch Now HRFC are complaining that they are losing to cheque book clubs . http://www.theforester.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=140221&command=displayContent&sourceNode=140204&contentPK=15329868&moduleName=InternalSearch&formname=sidebarsearch So who are the cheque book clubs ? Hertford or the others ?

All the clubs in this league pay their players something. Some (a lot) more than others. Hertford first XV have used close to 50 players this year due to an appalling injury list. In some positions players who would be doing well to make the 2nds are playing regularly for the 1sts. They have 2 big home games coming up in the next few weeks against the bottom 2 sides (on the 16th and the 23rd). All support welcome.

Hertford does pay every squad player that plays on a Saturday and trains Tuesday and Thursday. The amount is no where near the £250 mark bantered around by Old Pats at the beginning of the season. There have been some horrific rumors concerning the salaries of players at clubs such as Westcombe Park and Southend. True or not, the fact of the matter is that Hertford were beating teams such as Westcombe, home and away last season and 2 seasons ago and now seem to be conceding too many points to them, ask yourself how?. If you have been to the home games this season you will have noticed a significant change in the players used at the beginning of the season to those that ran out 2 weeks ago, you would also have noticed that out of the squad below, 10 of the players are home grown. TEAM; LEWIS, HOLMES, SLOAN, STOREY, THOMAS (GIDDINGS 24TH MIN, COKE 47TH), DAVIES, STRINGER, VAILETI, MOSS, BELTON, JOHNSON, BASELEY, PATTON (LEMIERE 62ND), HARRIS (GREEN 62ND), GREEN (WEST 40TH) I hope that that gives you your answer, but personally I don't feel that questions such as this should be asked on this forum, when the rugby club has a perfectly adequate one viewed by more informed people than here. Perhaps try asking there.

This is not a rugby question as such, its a direct question to Hertford Rugby Club issue. If you are a fan of HRFC, it should be of no consequnce to you if, or how much the First team sqaud are paid, all that should matter is what is causing the present loosing streak, a question answered by Carlos.

I have started taking my son to the under 7's Saturday Rugby training, fantastic set-up with between 6 to 8 very energetic and motivating coach's looking after the 30 or so children. Really very well run. Also as i have never been up to Hertford RFC i was very inpressed by the whole set up and facilities, there also seems to be a great social scene going on as well !
