Just out from 'HQ':
Championship Cup Semi-Final Matches Confirmed Following completion of the home and away legs in the initial pool matches of the Championship Cup, the semi-final games have been confirmed. The two highest point scoring clubs play their semi-final at home, with the top points scorer playing the 4th, and the 2nd and 3rd ranked clubs playing one another. Semi-finals · Cornish Pirates v Jersey Reds (1st v 4th place) · Ealing Trailfinders v Doncaster Knights (2nd v 3rd place) The semi-finals will take place over the weekend of 5-7 May. Precise fixture dates and timings for the games will be available shortly. If there is a draw after 80 minutes, extra time will take place consisting of 10 minutes each way with a minute interval. If the scores remain equal after extra time, the winner will be the team which has scored the most tries in the game (including extra time). If the scores are level and the number of tries scored is equal, then there shall be a place kick competition to determine the winner. The Final of the Championship Cup takes place the weekend after the semi-finals, 12-14 May, and will be played at the home ground of the club with the best playing record in the semi-finals. |

Any idea what this means "The Final of the Championship Cup takes place the weekend after the semi-finals, 12-14 May, and will be played at the home ground of the club with the best playing record in the semi-finals."? Does that mean the higher seeded team coming out of the Semi? Or does it mean the team with the best outcome e.g. 5-0 vs. 4-1 in points?

The indication from 'HQ' is that it's the winning team with the best points difference/ winning margin from their SF tie - no bonus points for 4 tries or being within 7pts. There's a sequence of potential tie-breakers after that: highest pts total, try-count, fewest reds then yellows &, in the astonishing scenario of there still being a tie after all that jazz, a coin being tossed. |

Yes should be a cracker Carrott.
I imagine the RFU are hoping either of us do enough to get a Home final or failing that Donny |

If the final is at The Mennaye or Castle Park there would be a big crowd. Jersey would have a good turnout I'm sure, at Ealing probably not.

350 miles and a six hour journey each way from Penzance to the RAG or Stoop on a good day. Hardly easy.

Credit where credit is due. It is a fantastic incentive for the teams to keep going until the final whistle.

Lost count of how many N0.7
I've even been to Ealing, with a pint in the Duke of Kent on the way. I must have seen you, as I swear I saw at least one Trailfinders supporter there |

So looking forward to that game No. 7. It is easy to forget that there is a huge amount of rugby to play before we get to it. I do think that it will be an occasion though and I’m looking forward to catching up with you. |

I read it as if Pirates win they are at home and if Jersey win they are away to whoever wins the other match.

It says ‘in the semi-finals’ so surely it means the best performing team in the semi’s. I.e. bonus point win, then biggest points difference or tries scored etc. That way every team has the opportunity of hosting the final.
