Cambridge still in promotion hunt

James Shanahan
Shanahan is looking for an unbeaten run

Cambridge Rugby Club player-manager James Shanahan is adamant that his side are still in with a shout to win promotion from National League Two.

Cambridge, who are 12 points off leaders Redruth, host Cinderford at West Renualt's Park on Saturday.

Shanahan told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "I expect there's going to be some huge games coming up. I think it will go into the last month of the season.

"I think we're still in with a shout, but we'd have to go unbeaten."

Shanahan's men come off the back of impressive victories over Mounts Bay and Otley with Luke Fielden grabbing hat-tricks in both games.

After Cambridge's 21-17 win over Cinderford earlier in the season Shanahan hopes his knowledge of their opponents will hold them in good stead.

He said: "I wouldn't expect them to change their style of play. They've got an influence from Gloucester, a few Gloucester old boys. I'd expect them to be very physical, very strong up front."
