This Saturday (13th) it's the home leg of the infamous Battle of the Car Park, with all three senior sides taking on our neighbours Widden Old Boys.

The First XV match has added importance with only one place separating the two teams in Gloucester 1. Cryptians lie in second, only 5 points ahead of Widden in third, so this encounter could prove crucial in the race for promotion. Widden won the first game 16-3 on 7th November and Cryptians are desperate to reverse that result.

The Second XV game is also a league match, with Cryptians having been promoted to the second division of the Gloucestershire Reserve Leagues midway through the season. Cryptians sit three places higher in that table, but the corresponding fixture in November couldn't have been tighter, ending in an 8-all draw.

The Third XV managed a 3-17 victory when the sides last met and having won all four of their other games this season, will be going all out to complete the double. Whilst Widden have not fielded a Third XV on any other weekend in the season, they will doubtless be over-subscribed with players keen to take on the old enemy this Saturday!

All the games kick off at 14:30, so please come out in force to support all three teams in the biggest games of the season!
