Week 14 Fixtures

Caldy 5 vs 2 Bedford Caldy to maintain their run of form but Bedford to keep them honest

Hartpury 5 vs 1 Richmond Hartpury to win by 10 points but Richmond to get a 4 Try bonus

Doncaster 5 vs 0 Nottingham The Knights to exact their revenge for the away defeat

Cornish Pirates 0 vs 5 Jersey I think Jersey will do a number at the Menaye

Ealing Trailfinders 5 vs 1 Coventry Home win but Coventry will make them defend

London Scottish 5 vs 2 Ampthill Assuming a similar strength LS Squad to last week will do the job but only just

Caldy 5-1 Blues Two sides hitting form but on the Wirral Caldy to win it 

Pury 4-2 Mond Visitors to narrowly lose but score 4 tries

Donny 4-0 Archers Both teams looking to find form but home advantage to be decisive

Pirates 1-4 Jersey If the luck stays with them Jersey to win by a single point. I will watch the stream but wish I could be there on the terrace at the Newlyn end.

Ealing 3-3 Coventry Easily the tie of the round between two very good prospective premiership teams surely the RFU will stream this one. Should be a great crowd.

McQuins 5-1 Ampthill I hope Amps take at least a point IMO they add hugely to this league

Caldy 1-5 Bedford. Two in-form teams and Bedford don’t like travelling north. But I think their style of play should prevail. Might be wrong though.
Hartpury 5-0 Richmond. Hartpury are another form team and should get the bonus try win.
Doncaster 5-0 Nottingham. The Donnie’s look like they might be back on track again.
Pirates 0-4 Jersey. What has happened to the Pirates? Jersey’s form has dipped but they should grind out the win.
Ealing 5-0 Coventry. Enough said.
L Scottish 2-5 Ampthill. I don’t care what super duper rugby mercenaries LS put out, the As are showing real fight lately and should have enough to register a much needed win.

PS Appreciate Corporal Carrot’s comments about this match.

To quote Cherub: "Pirates 0-4 Jersey. What has happened to the Pirates? Jersey’s form has dipped but they should grind out the win"

We have a very young, inexperienced squad with a lot of potential but clearly with a lot to learn. Fully agree with this. I watch most Pirates home games via the stream and when they are good like second half against Donny or against Jersey at St Peter they are easily top 4 quality and they have a real core of cracking young players but probably lack the depth in their squad to compete with Ealing this year.

Caldy 2 - 5 Bedford 
Hartpury 5 - 0 Richmond 
Doncaster 5 - 1 Nottingham
C Pirates 1 - 4 Jersey
Ealing 5 - 0 Coventry

Caldy 1 - 5 Bedford … The Caldy faithful are living the dream at the moment. Their team is playing out of their skin and returning results. You will enjoy this fixture guys. If Bedford decide to play it could be a belter.
Hartpury 5 - 1 Richmond … Glos 2nds to take the spoils, but Mond will not make it easy for them.
Doncaster 5 - 0 Nottingham … Both teams have not been at their best this season, but an improving Donny at home should prove too strong for a Nottingham side desperate to regain its mojo.
C Pirates 0 - 5 Jersey … Pirates have not been at their best this season, but they are rebuilding and it sounds as though they will be a force again, but not this season. Jersey have had a run of really tough fixtures and although they are not at their best should win this one.
Ealing 4 - 1 Coventry … No pitch advantage here for Ealing against a very capable and exciting Coventry side. This could go all the way and I wouldn’t bet against an upset, even though I am backing Ealing…. Just!!
L Scottish 5 - 0 Ampthill … This saddens me. McQuinns should have won in Jersey and if they retain all of their imports then it will be a very long afternoon for The Mob. The worst thing will be the consequences as LS are bound to now move up the league….we’ve seen this scenario before and it just isn’t right. Good luck Ampthill

Caldy 1 - 5 Bedford have been wrong about Caldy for many weeks so I am backing Bedford

Hartpury 5 - 0 Richmond. Mond have certainly lost their Mojo and don"t look scoring 4 tries in a game 

Doncaster 4 -1 Nottingham not understanding either team just went for home win

Cornish Pirates 1 - 5 Jersey Cp out of sorts  Jersey are a good side

Ealing Trailfinders 5 - 1 Coventry sorry Cov fans at home  I would give you a fighting chance 

McQuins 1 - 4 Ampthill basement battle 

I expect the McQuins will do a Hartpury on the 22/04 to decide who gets relegated
