It has been proposed that next season a Clash Of The Titans fixture be arranged that pits the 'Centurions Legends' against the 'Centurions Masters' at the Cents Colosseum ground.
Cents Masters organiser Mick O'Shea is putting this event together and askes that you pass the word along to as many old faces and players that may be interested. A date and time has not been fixed yet, but if interested and want to know more, then you can contact Mick at either [email protected] or keep an eye on the Cents Masters Facebook Page. Details will also appear on this website when known. Oh, and apparently there will be a 'bit of a booze up' afterwards. You have been warned. It's that time of year again when another season draws to a close, and on Saturday, the end of season presentations were held at our sponsors pub, The White Swan in St Albans. In a jam packed pub, the awards were handed over, and (very short) speeches were made. Then everyone got down to having a good time. The award winners are shown below.

Hemel Stags 38 -v- 30 St Albans Centurions The mighty Cents put in a monumental effort with injury and work commitments limiting the squad to only 13 for the match at arch rivals Hemel Stags in the East RL Premier play off semi final. The Stags had finished top of the league after a storming season, giving them home advantage. However, the Centurions almost upset the odds going in at half time 18-10 up. The Stags were eventually able to take advantage with their 18 man squad and against the tiring Cents defence, ran in two late tries to make the final score 38-30. Here's a comment on Facebook, from a Cents committee member....,The game yesterday was unbelievable. Last game of the season and due to holidays, work etc., we could only travel with thirteen players, and out of those thirteen, two were seventeen year olds , two were over 35 and one player got out of his sick bed to play for us. I don't mind saying, I was expecting us to be on the receiving end of a right walloping - but was I wrong. I have never seen a team play with so much passion and guts - no substitutes, no rest - against a very good Hemel squad of 18 players. The team ran themselves ragged ... and just kept going. With ten minutes left and in the lead, the lads just could not keep the opposition out and they ran in two tries in the last eight minutes. The committee would just like to thank those thirteen players for their commitment. The photos from that exceptional game are now on our photo website https://sacents.smugmug.com/ And so the 2017 season comes to an end with a gutsy performance. Eyes now turn to the end of season presentation evening and "drinks" on August 19th. NH Crusaders 40 -v- 32 St Albans Centurions
St Albans Centurions senior team ended their regular season with a narrow defeat away at North Herts Crusaders on Saturday. Leading for large periods of the game, and leading 30 - 32 , the Cents just did not have enough in the tank to hang on for the last ten minutes when the home team ran in two tries to clinch the win. This means that the Cents, who finished in fourth place in the East League, are away at Hemel Hempstead Stags next Saturday in the semi final play offs. |
