IT was a disappointing weekend for Harwich and Dovercourt Rugby Club.

They had been due to play in the Suffolk Plate semi-finals against Mildenhall, on Saturday.

However, the Suffolk side were unable to raise a side so Harwich received a bye into the final, where they will meet neighbours Mistley at the end of November.

Shane Manning’s side return to Eastern Counties League division two action tomorrow when they visit Stowmarket.
