Today, Saturday 11 March, The Mighty Oaks will face Northampton Casuals away.

Following a 19 - 17 win against Market Bosworth at home last weekend, Oakham are hoping that their success will continue this weekend against Northampton Casuals.

At 9th in the Counties 1 Midlands East (South) league table, Oakham defeated Market Bosworth, who were sitting at 3 in the league, last weekend.

This win not only took Oakham up to 8th in the league, but secured them from the relegation zone.

This weekend, they face Northampton, who sit at 11 in the table. This doesn't guarantee an easy win though, as Oakham only beat Northampton by 4 points at home earlier in the season.
