DINGS CRUSADERS vs ROSSLYN PARK | 25 APRIL | 3PM
Rosslyn Park will be looking to end their 2025/26 campaign on a high this weekend as they travel to Dings Crusaders. If results go their way when Rotherham face Sale, Park could cement a top-four finish in National One. Despite a few setbacks throughout the season, the 1st XV have shown real resilience, and a win on Saturday would see them head into 2026/27 on the back of three consecutive league victories.
Since the sides met on the opening day of the season back in September 2025, when Park secured an emphatic 45–10 win, the West Country outfit have endured a mixed campaign. Just two league points separate them from the relegation zone, setting up a tense encounter heading into Saturday.
Park, however, have enjoyed success against the Bristolian side in the past. Most notably in Dings first season at National One level, where they recorded a 61–24 victory on the road. While Josh Bragman picked up Player of the Match honours that day, Joe Luca Smith also crossed for two tries in a dominant performance.
Player to Watch – Sam Worsley: The Bristol Bears loanee is no stranger to Premiership Rugby, having amassed 119 points in 30 appearances. He notably earned Player of the Match honours for the Bears in October 2025 after guiding his side to a big win over Gloucester. With years of experience at Dings, he is well-versed in the National Leagues and will no doubt be looking to control proceedings this weekend.
As we say farewell not just to the season but also to those departing the club, Saturday promises to be a special occasion. Get down if you can and support the boys!
