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.

Accolades

It's that time of year when the awards start to be given out.

Within the Saints Tiny has won both the Players Player of the Season and the Supporters Player of the Season.  The second is none too much of a surprise, ever since Tiny decided to stay with the Saints he has been greeted with a roar whenever his name is mentioned or he does something on the pitch.  He is well loved.  But it is good to see that the team themselves value him as well.

Tiny also came second in the Guiness Premiership Player of the Season, but the trophy itself goes to Chris Ashton with the highest try score of the premiership for a decade, and almost managing to beat the all time record.

This is just part of the recognition for a team that have come so far in the last 2 years.  In the Eurotable they still top the other English teams, although having dropped from 2nd to 4th as a result of the defeat to the Sarries last weekend.

Proud to be a Saint.
