Rugby: Title decider set to attract large crowd

A large crowd is expected in Stowmarket today for this afternoon's Greene King IPA Eastern Counties One showdown at Chilton Fields, 3pm.

Stowmarket are in pole position for promotion to the London Leagues and a win over their closest rivals will virtually seal first place.

Despite suffering a rare 21-0 defeat in King's Lynn last month, Stowmarket have bounced back to gain a four-point lead going into the final three matches of the season.

Wests lost at Cantabrigian last week to hand the initiative to Stow and a win for the hosts tomorrow will leave them in a position where Wests would need to win both their remaining games and hope Stowmarket fail to gain a point, including a match against bottom club Thurston.

But Wests will be bringing many supporters with them, including a 57-seater coach and many in cars.

Even if Stow lose, they would still have their destiny in their own hands so all will not be lost.
