Sobering Southwell defeat puts the skids on resurgent Spalding RFC

Spalding RFC were thumped 50-5 at Southwell in Midlands Two East (North) on Saturday as they failed to build on last week’s confidence-boosting victory.

Town had hoped to make it back-to-back league wins for the first time in recent memory, but were dealt a crushing defeat by a side that began the day in the bottom five.

The heavy loss leaves Sam Cooke’s charges rock bottom with six points from seven matches.
