The Saints

The Saints are the Northampton rugby team. Having gone through some rough patches, including most recently relegation during the 2007/2008 season (they completed the year in National Division 1 with an unprecedented 35 wins from 35 games), they have rapidly come back through the combined powers of Jim Mallinder, Dorian West and Paul Grayson, alongside a strong combination of youth and experience.

Tiny Stays With The Saints

After a prolonged and disruptive disagreement with the Saracens, the two teams have come to an amicable agreement.  This is a relief for all as the name-calling, especially from the Sarries direction, was getting a bit much and casting a cloud over the usual good relations between clubs.  Exactly what the agreement is, nobody knows.  While there have been rumours of the Saints paying off the Sarries, these appear unfounded.

Whatever has gone on, the good news is that one of our best loved players, Tiny, is staying with The Saints.  The end of the season can now continue without lawyers getting in the way, and all can concentrate on the rugby.  We will be sure to welcome the Sarries to Franklins Gardens on the 24th April.
