Mid May sees me getting into the swing of the cricket season, but there’s just a bit of the rugby union season left and the last regular season game saw Saracens play Gloucester at Allianz Park. That’s a game I wouldn’t want to miss, even though Essex were playing Yorkshire in Chelmsford, my daughter Alexandra … More Saracens v Gloucester
The start of the cricket season meant I was due to travel to Leeds to watch Essex play at Headingley, the atrocious weather meant I cancelled my plans leaving me free to spend the weekend at Allianz Park. SARACENS STORM V BATH UNITED I write this as a time when there’s a good deal of … More A Saracens Weekend!
I have photos to share and a little to say about both the Saracens match and the England match, so here I go.

European Rugby is back! There’s something special about this competition, I try to watch as much of it as I can.

That … More Saracens v Bristol
Halfway through writing this I’ve come back to the start, it’s going to be more an account of a great weekend than a match report – you have been warned! As my Saracens friends have found out I’m not a fan of flying, the only times of late I’ve been on a plane have been … More Munster v Saracens
I have to write about far more than the match on this one, so I’ll ask you to bear with me. I’m in the middle of writing a piece for another site, with the title – “What a Difference a Home Makes’ – and this Champions Cup weekend was a prime example of the things … More Saracens v Glasgow Warriors
I’d met Roanne several times with his Saracens Sports Foundation hat on and found him to be a friendly and charismatic man, it was no surprise therefore to find him in hospitality mode when I was lucky enough to be in the 100 Club pre-match. A Saracens Supporters Association evening where he was the host … More Saracens behind the Scenes – Roanne Crouse
