RAMS RFC’s outstanding National League One campaign has ended in disappointment after they missed out on the title on points difference.
Having completed their season a week earlier, the Rams faced an anxious wait to see who would be crowned champions.
Rams had led the way for the majority of the season, but were pipped to the post by Cambridge who took the title in their final game after earning a bonus point win over Birmingham Moseley with a 59-10 victory.
Rams and Cambridge both finished level on 114 points after both enjoyed superb seasons, but it was Cambridge who won promotion with a points difference of +459 to better Rams’ total of +339.
It turned out to be a thrilling three-way race for the title as Sale finished just one point behind both Rams and Cambridge and had to settle for third place.
Despite missing out on first place, Rams can look back on an excellent season of progress having won 22 of their 26 league matches.
The final table means that Rams’ have climbed four places in the standings compared to their sixth placed finish the previous campaign where they won 17 of their 28 games, ending on 90 points.
