Match Preview: Chester vs Taunton Titans – Saturday, 1500 KO

The Taunton Titans are back on the road this weekend as they make the long journey north to face Chester in National League 2 West (kick-off 3pm).

The Titans will be determined to bounce back after a narrow, hard-fought defeat to Luctonians at Summerfield Stadium last weekend. It was a close contest that could have gone either way, but despite the result, there were plenty of positives to take — from the side’s intensity in defence to the creativity shown in attack. Those small margins will be the focus this week as the Titans look to turn performance into points.

Chester, meanwhile, will also be looking to respond after a tough result of their own, having fallen to a heavy defeat away to Hornets. They’ll be keen to make a statement in front of their home crowd, so the Titans can expect a strong and physical challenge at Hare Lane.

Encounters between these two sides are usually tight and competitive, with both teams favouring an open, attacking brand of rugby. For Taunton, the key will be to start fast, stay disciplined, and make the most of their attacking opportunities. If the pack can provide a solid platform up front, the backs have already shown they can cause problems for any defence in this division.

Head Coach and the squad know the importance of consistency as the season begins to take shape, and this trip north presents the perfect opportunity to get back on track and show what this group is capable of.

Friday Night Rugby: Warriors vs Chard – Friday, 19:30 KO

Before the Titans take the field on Saturday, attention turns to Friday night rugby under the lights at Summerfield Stadium, where the Taunton Warriors welcome Chard (kick-off 19:30).

Friday night games always bring a special buzz around the club, and with the Warriors showing plenty of spirit and commitment so far this season, it promises to be another great occasion. With a lively crowd expected, it’s the perfect way to kick off an exciting weekend of Taunton Rugby action.

It’s set to be another full weekend for the club — with the Warriors at home on Friday and the Titans representing Taunton on the road. Both sides will be looking to deliver strong performances that reflect the passion and pride of everyone involved with Taunton Rugby.
