Recent Form: Exceptional – the champions-elect have lost just two games all season!
Richmond have also put their foot down when it comes to scoring points, a 50-26 success at Sedgley Park following a sensational 54-0 home victory to end Plymouth Albion’s 10-match winning run.

The Londoners had to settle for a 35-35 draw under the Friday Night Lights at Birmingham Moseley, but prior to that they defeated Bishop’s Stortford (38-21), Leicester Lions (26-10), Dings Crusaders (31-14) and Darlington Mowden Park (33-17) during an eight-match unbeaten streak.

‘Mond’s only blip came around the turn of the year, a 32-18 loss at Sale following a 40-22 triumph at home to Esher and 25-17 reverse against Rosslyn Park in their last game of 2024.

Prior to that, however, Richmond went unbeaten during the first half of the season, overcoming Rotherham Titans (31-29) with a final-play score, Rams (7-5), Sedgley (21-6), Plymouth away (20-15), Moseley (42-14), Stortford (43-31) and Leicester (43-12).

A 31-31 draw at Dings followed a five-match winning run to start the campaign, Sale (31-27), Esher (52-17), DMP (48-7), Rosslyn (21-19 with a last-play drop goal) and Blackheath (31-20) all defeated.
