After a week off, this interesting season will resume next weekend:
Friday 22nd October: Nottingham v Cornish Pirates - 7.45pm Saturday 23rd October: Jersey v Ampthill - 2.30pm Bedford v Richmond - 3pm Coventry v Ealing - 3pm London Scottish v Hartpury - 3pm Donny have a bye, straight after a week off, that’s an absolute joke. 3 weeks without a game in a supposedly professional league, shambolic. There needs to be 14 teams in this league next season. |

Predictions:
Nottingham 1 v 4 Cornish Pirates - Nottingham at home are a good side. Pirates will have to earn this one Jersey 5 v 0 Ampthill - Not many teams will get much on the Island this season. Jersey’s very good pack to boss this Bedford 5 v 1 Richmond - Richmond have been very competitive this year in every game but Bedford are starting to click. At home Blues will pile on the points, but probably let a fair few in, as is their wont Coventry 1 v 4 Ealing - head over heart selection this one. Ealing are vulnerable after a week off but they’ll just edge this at a ground that they play well at normally. Come on Cov, make me look a fool like you did against Donny. London Scottish 1 v 4 Hartpury - With a week off to regroup, I would hope Scottish are more competitive in this one. Pury do struggle away from home so there’s a chance of a surprise I think.

Nottingham 1-4 Cornish Pirates. A close game but the Pirates should just edge it.
Jersey 5-1 Ampthill. My head overrides my heart. I think the As can score four tries but not stay within seven points of their hosts. But they did beat the Pirates away last season…… Bedford 5-0 Richmond. Bedford are on the up, and at Goldington Road, in front of a big crowd, I can see their talented backs having a field day. Coventry 0-5 Ealing. I just think Ealing have got off to a slow start and will get better, whilst Coventry are not yet able to put out their first choice fifteen. London Scottish 0-4 Hartpury College. The away side to claw a victory, pulling away in the second half. |

Nottingham 4-1 Pirates Should be a brilliant game going either way
Jersey 4-1 Ampthill - The local favourite returns so another really close contest - One Charlie Beckett there's only one Charlie Beckett - I wish he was still wearing red. Bedford 5-2 Richmond Home advantage should be enough but Mond to score four tries and could win it Coventry 4-1 Ealing This is one of a handful of matches I think Trailfinders may struggle London Scottish 4-1 Hartpury Home advantage should give Scottish a first win

Don’t worry I think this is one of Ealing’s easiest away matches as it is a home from home with the artificial pitch. The old Coventry mud patch then I think it would have been a different matter.

Nottingham 1 v 5 Cornish Pirates - Pirates can beat Ealing, Ealing triumphed over Nottingham. This math works, right?
Jersey 5 v 1 Ampthill - Jersey seem on good form, and will defend their island. Bedford 5 v 1 Richmond - Bedford seem to have re-discovered their running rugby with Tapley flying all over. Coventry 1 v 5 Ealing - I like Ealing on the artificial pitch. I even managed to get a pass from the wife to go watch. Lots of driving tomorrow. London Scottish 0 v 5 Hartpury - No faith in Scottish from me.

Ealing team for tomorrow against Coventry: A virtually unchanged side with only Harry Casson replacing Craig Willis on the bench. I like the idea of continuity, and it is hard to argue with picking a side that scored 12 tries in their last outing. I'll be making this away trip, and would appreciate any advice on parking at or around the BPA (I know that there is on-site parking, but does that fill up?)

Heavy changes for Coventry as replacements are drafted in to replace injured injury replacements. Notable gaps at full back, front row, and back row. Corporal Carrot's prediction looking even less likely. At least by the second half all the squad will have known each other for an hour. COVENTRY RUGBY TEAM TO PLAY EALING TRAILFINDERS Championship Rugby Round 5 Butts Park Arena Saturday, October 23rd, 2021 Kick off 3.00pm 15 Tom Howe; 14 Rob Stevenson; 13 Rob Knox; 12 Tom Griffiths; 11 Sam Aspland-Robinson; 10; Tony Fenner; 09 Josh Barton; 01 Toby Trinder, 02 Jordan Poole, 03 Phil Boulton, 04 Nile Dacres, 05 Jonathan Kpoku, 06 Adam Peters, 07 Josh Bainbridge, 08 Ryan Burrows (C). 16 Suva Ma’asi, 17 Dan Richardson, 18 Cal Ford, 19 Fred Betteridge, 20 Aaron Hinkley (debut), 21 Joe Snow, 22 Evan Mitchell, 23 Will Owen.

Looks a strong Cov side to me . . .and as a full time time no excuses for not knowing each other! Ealing should be too strong though.

Run with it

Nottingham 1 v 5 Cornish Pirates - Which Pirates show up?
Jersey 5 v 2 Ampthill - could be close Bedford 5 v 0 Richmond - Bedford ( Saints A - look very strong across the board!) Coventry 0 v 5 Ealing - Ealing starting to pick up momentum London Scottish 0 v 5 Hartpury - Pury a top half team this year.
