For those local rugby enthusiasts I have been reliably informed that South have dropped out of Midland Premier League but will continue to field a team in Leicestershire league B.
Great shame to see what has happened at the senior level for South, but I understand they have a thriving mini and junior section

Re: South LEICESTER RFC
Sponsor pulled out after they got relegated. Couldn't pay their players so saw 30 of them walk. Might be better for them to drop down the leagues until they are at a level they can survive at. Losing 240-0 in October isn't a game.

Re: South LEICESTER RFC
It’s a lot deeper and more complex than just that, but you’re right about the 240-0, and they were shipping on average over 100 points a game.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 9:29 pm Sponsor pulled out after they got relegated.

Re: South LEICESTER RFC
I'm sure it is. Those are the just the problems on the surface. The be all and end all of the club isn't the men's first team so happily they will continue or at least I hope they do. Had some fun games there over the years.Mark62 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 9:34 pmIt’s a lot deeper and more complex than just that, but you’re right about the 240-0, and they were shipping on average over 100 points a game.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 9:29 pm Sponsor pulled out after they got relegated.
