SRFC featured on three pages in today's Visiter thanks to match reporter Mike Smith and rookie behind the lens man Tom Peacock.

The Visiter has skipper Joe Mawdsley and Charlie Attis as the poster boys on the back page with Josh Critchley (x2), Gareth Lang, Jak Parker, Calum Monaghan (x2), Danny Banks (x2) and Tom Hill in the thick of it on a double spread inside.
