Northampton Heathens: A Century Of Not Being Saints
This week we are joined by Rachel Greenfield, Luke Passmore and Jimmy Applegate from the Northampton Heathens. Playing out of the East Midlands Merit League the Heathens were founded in 1921 but can trace themselves back as far as 1903.

The Nags Charity Barbarians: Power Of The Nags
This week we are joined by Ed Birch from The Nags Charity Barbarians. I am fairly sure they are the sole rugby club to be founded while a group of men pulled a canal boat the length of a marathon, I haven't researched that but I think it's a safe bet. The Nags are a fantastic team who play rugby and undertake various challenges to raise money for Cancer Research UK. This year they are heading to Tewkesbury Rugby Club for a weekend of rugby on the 10th and 11th of May, we would strongly recommend heading down for what is sure to be a brilliant time. We talk all things Nags, challenges and £200,000+ they have already raised.
