Durham enjoy luck of the draw for BUCS fixtures

James Dennis | 8 February 2010

With the end of the regular BUCS season coming to a close, teams are preparing themselves for the business end of the year. The knockouts provide a chance for Durham to pit themselves against the best teams in the country, and it’s possible that the Palatinates could have their best season in years.

Durham have had a favourable draw with an unprecedented number of home ties, totalling eleven home matches.

With the Palatinates currently third in the overall BUCS league points table, only twenty points behind Edinburgh, the number of home draws present an opportunity for Team Durham to do very well this year.
