Stamford Rugby Club's head coach Auz Schwarz on his side's Midlands 3 East (South) title triumph

Head coach Auz Schwarz felt the decision to award his Stamford side the Midlands 3 East (South) title was the ‘right and fair’ result.

The RFU agreed that with four games remaining the final placings should be calculated to ensure the promotion and relegation issues were still decided.

Stamford were joint top of the table with near neighbours Oakham when the coronavirus pandemic ended the season with four games remaining.
