LUCTONIANS second continued their club record breaking run as they won their 50th league game on the bounce.
The Mortimer Park side recorded a 5-36 victory at Barkers’ Butts Rugby Club on Saturday as their winning run continues.
Their extraordinary tally started back on the 3rd September 2022 in their first outing in the RFU leagues.
What would follow that season, was 21 further bonus-point victories, as the 2nd XV finished top of the Counties 1 Midlands West (North) division with 110 points out of 110.
Having been denied promotion, due to the RFU regulations at the time not allowing promotion for reserve sides, the 2nd XV went to work again at Level 7, this time with a sideways transfer into the Counties 1 Midlands West (South) league to play some fresh teams.
Once more champions at this level, the RFU rules would deny promotion again in 2023/24, but they lifted the North Midlands Cup,
With the RFU now having changed the regulations about reserve sides getting promoted, Luctonians 2nd XV will be hoping to maintain the run all the way through this season to achieve promotion into Level 6 at the end of this campaign.
