Oakham Rugby Football Club are facing Bourne in what will be their final match of the season this Saturday, 25 March.

After a rest weekend on 18 March, The Mighty Oaks are back for their last game of the season this weekend.

They will be facing Bourne, who sit at 4th in the league table, while Oakham moved back down to 9th after a surprise defeat away against Northampton Casuals on 11 March, the lads losing the lead in the final few minutes of the game.
