Bit early but as I was looking who was playing whom next week We will find out a lot more about Chinnor against Ampthill, which is always a tricky place to play. Ealing have a tough test at Pirates. Whereas at the other end Caldy v Cambridge is a big one. Friday Pirates v Ealing Trailfinders Saturday Doncaster Knights v Nottingham Hartpury v Scottish Ampthill v Chinnor Caldy v Cambridge Coventry v Blues |

It has but the matrix they use needs changing, there is no reason for it and I have never understood why you play the first game and last game of the season against the same team!

If every club had strict alternation of home and away games, the teams who were t home on the first week could never play one another. As in any week, the two teams both need to be at home, or both need to be away. As a result, every club has to have two home games and two away games at some point in the season. One club starts with two home games and one has to start with two away games. Similarly, one club has to end the season with two home games, and one ends with two away games.

I realise that, but the season really doesn't have to start and end like that. Biggest disappointment for Cov is the fact that there are no home games (three away) between 12/10 and 23/11. That's poor - and avoidable.

Kimbo, at least you have games those weeks. Some of us don't. It is an artefact of there being two different competitions. But you are right, you do not need to start and finish against the same team. Indeed, the second half of the season could be in any order. In fact, you do not need to play every before playing a side twice, so if there was a good reason to have the derby matches close together, you could. |

Totally agree with you on the utter iniquity around the Prem Cup, but I will say that not all of the away games in that six week period are cup games. We play Caldy away in the league. Edited to add: ironically, you DO have a home game during the six week perio when Cov don't

That's right. The RFU are notorious for their favoritism towards Ealing....or is is it that they are famous for their incompetence? One or the other.
