Bishop's Stortford Rugby Football Club was formed in 1920 and have progressed up the league system from London 3 to National One. Their home ground Silver Leys has played host to the club since 1928. Bishop's Stortford gained promotion to National One in April, courtesy of a 1st place finish in National 2 South. BSRFC pipped Old Elthamians to the title, gaining automatic promotion for their first season in National One.

BSRFC have enjoyed a positive start since their promotional to National One, winning 8 of their 11 matches so far. Saturday's hosts have an identical record to Mowden, but trail the DMP by 7 points courtesy of less bonus points. The Hertfordshire side have won their last 4, with their only defeats coming to top 4 sides Coventry, Ampthill and Plymouth. This run of form has seen them climb to 6th in the table. Their leading try scorer is Chris Smith with 6, and their leading points scorer is George Cullen with 105.
