Brooke and Chase dive into the latest twists of National League One, with Clifton battling hard to stay in contention. They break down last weekend’s results, preview the crucial fixtures ahead, and weigh up what form really means this early in the season. Expect laughs, a listener mailbag from a far-flung fan, and the usual dose of Lavender & Black spirit. Plus, as always, the show closes with a new rugby-inspired song to keep the Station Road vibes alive.

Round 3 of National League 1 is done and dusted, and three clubs – Plymouth Albion, Rotherham, and Rosslyn Park – remain unbeaten at the top. Blackheath are not far behind, while Tonbridge, Rams, and Sedgley keep up the chase.

At the other end of the table, Clifton’s tough start continued with defeat to Rotherham, but the Lavender & Black showed glimpses of progress and will be targeting Sedgley Park next weekend to open their account.

We also look ahead to Round 4, with heavyweight clashes at Well Hall (Blackheath v Rosslyn Park) and Clifton’s trip north to Park Lane.

Brooke and Chase are back with a whistle-stop tour of Round 2 in National League One: Plymouth and Rams flex their muscles, the chasing pack keep pace, and Clifton look ahead to a big Station Road clash with Rotherham. Listener mail drops in from the far-flung town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, asking about the new 20-minute red card rule — is it fair, or does it water down deterrence?

As ever, the episode wraps with music: each week a new rugby-inspired tune closes the show. This time it’s “Rugby in the Rain” — a fitting anthem for muddy boots and loyal fans.

Brooke and Chase kick off the National League One season with a sharp recap of Round 1, spotlighting Clifton’s first outing at the new level against Blackheath (17–34) — what worked, what didn’t, and the biggest lessons for Station Road. We tip the cap to this year’s league newcomers (Clifton, Leeds, Tonbridge), pick our “Matches to Watch” for Round 2, and drop a quick Rugby 101 on lineout calls (yes, the dancing means something!). Plus: a wonderfully daft fan mail from “MooseFeet in Alaska,” and a few silly questions to keep spirits high in lavender and black.
