Reigning Flags champions Spencer will take on 2023/24 Premier Division champions Hampstead in the 2024 SEMLA Senior Flags Final on Saturday in a repeat of last year’s final match.

Also in a repeat of last year’s finals, Division 1 winners, Spencer 2s, are in action against Reading Wildcats in the Intermediate competition and Exeter University play City of Stoke in the Minor Final.

In the Senior competition, Spencer head into the final match after an excellent 17-7 semi-final win over Camden while Hampstead come into this match in blistering form after a dominating 27-3 victory over Hillcroft in their semi-final; both teams received a bye in the quarter-finals.

Last year’s Senior Flags Finals match saw Spencer come out on top after a narrow 13-9 victory but Hampstead have the upper-hand in head to head matches this season with the Premier Division winners bettering Spencer in both home and away matches (Hampstead 12-9 Spencer, Spencer 8-11 Hampstead).

In Division 1, Spencer 2s have the superior record over Reading this season after a 7-5 away victory and 7-4 home win for Spencer, giving them the slight edge heading into the Intermediate Final.

And, finally, last year’s Minor Final saw Exeter defeat Stoke 14-7 and they’re looking strong once again after an 8-4 semi-final win over Hillcroft 2s and an 18-6 victory over Bath in their quarter-final. Stoke will be fierce competition though after overcoming Harlequins 16-9 in their semi-final match.
