Since the end of October, Tigers have gained sizeable wins over Bedford, Cornish Pirates and Moseley (twice), as well as a hard-fought victory against local rivals Nottingham in early November.
Today’s match kicks off at 11.30am, with entry to Oval Park free for any supporters wishing to watch the club’s potential future first-teamers in action.
The clash with Naas is the beginning of a busy week for the academy as they host Glasgow Hawks on Wednesday and Cardiff U-16 next Saturday. Entry to both these matches is free, with supporters encouraged to attend in order to give the young players the experience of playing in front of large crowds.
