TICKETS are now on sale as Rams host Darlington Moden Park in their fifth National One home game of the season at Old Bath Road when the league returns from a three-week break on Saturday, November 4 (3pm).

After losing their unbeaten record with a 26-24 reverse at Leicester Lions in Week Seven, the hosts will be hoping to bounce back upon their return to OBR.

Having started the campaign with bumper home crowds of more than 800 for the opening four games – including a seasonal best of 912 against Bishop’s Stortford – another big following is expected for a game which always delivers points.

Indeed, in the four matches between the two sides across the past two seasons, an average of 59.25 per game have been racked up.

Darlington Mowden Park, who play some of the most enterprising rugby in National One, have already beaten Richmond, Cinderford and Sale this term, so another cracker is in store with the Ramily support potentially key!

We are grateful to everyone who is now pre-purchasing tickets – it makes entry to the ground much easier for supporters – and are very appreciative to all our fans who have started using the new system.

Here are all the details to allow matchday to run smoothly.
