19-20 Championship week 3 predictions

Here are the next round of fixtures. The highlight is the game at the Mennaye.
Friday 25th October:
Bedford v Ealing - 7.45pm
Hartpury College v Nottingham - 7.45pm
Jersey v Doncaster - 7.45pm

Saturday 26th October:
London Scottish v Ampthill - 3pm

Sunday 27th October:
Cornish Pirates v Newcastle - 2.30pm
Yorkshire Carnegie v Coventry - 3pm

Bedford 2 v Ealing 5 - Ealing are likely winners, Bedford fielding a stronger team this week could lead to them sneaking the win.
Hartpury College 4 v Nottingham 1 - Hartpury at home and in need of a win, they will be targeting this game.
Jersey 4 v Doncaster 1 - Could be a close one, we will need Jersey's poor decision making of this weekend gone to last another week to give us a shout. If our injury list miraculously disappeared I might fancy our chances..... :-( Can't make it over for the Friday night game either.
London Scottish 5 v Ampthill 1 - Scottish to come back on the victory trail
Cornish Pirates 4 v Newcastle 1 - Newcastle to muddy their pristine shorts and struggle 
Yorkshire Carnegie 0 v Coventry 5 - Cov to distribute a hiding clear by 30 points.

Bedford 1 v Ealing 4 
Hartpury College 1 v Nottingham 4 
Jersey 4 v Doncaster 1 
London Scottish 5 v Ampthill 0 
Cornish Pirates 4 v Newcastle 1

Looking forward to it, Stalwart. Really enjoyed my last trip down there.

Bedford 1 v Ealing 5 - Bedford should be stronger but still Ealing too strong
Hartpury College 0 v Nottingham 5 - Notts too strong
Jersey 5 v Doncaster 1 - Reds tough at home
London Scottish 5 v Ampthill 1 - First win for LS but Amps will give them a good game
Cornish Pirates 1 v Newcastle 5 - Should be an excellent game . . Newcastle too strong on a lovely new pitch.
Yorkshire Carnegie 0 v Coventry 5 - Cov by over 50.

Sounds good, Stalwart. I'll see you there.

A lot of improvements made to the ground over the summer - even Mr Smith won't think it's ramshackle.</span> I thought that the mud at the Mennaye was a feature like the slope at Goldington Road.

Bedford 0 v Ealing 5 Underpowered Blues struggle to score with Ealing in full control
Hartpury College 0 v Nottingham 5 Visitors’ pack to dominate against disjointed Pury 12 - 30
Jersey 5 v Doncaster 0 Islanders power through at home, Donny disappoint
London Scottish 1 v Ampthill 4. Amps get dogged pack up to speed and shock winless Scottish
Cornish Pirates 5 v Newcastle 1 Pirates will ramp it up a notch for this one
Yorkshire Carnegie 0 v Coventry 5 Hard to see Carnegie take anything from this

Bedford 4 v Ealing 0
Hartpury College 0 v Nottingham 4

Yorkshire Carnegie 0 v Coventry 5 

Bedford 1 v Ealing 5 ... Trailfinders got back on track at home to Jersey last week and I think that they will be too powerful for Bedford up front and will starve them of the ball. However, if Bedford get their hands on it then watch out for a shock.
Hartpury College 0 v Nottingham 5 ... Getting to be a tougher trip these days, but I think that Nottingham will have too much over the 80 for Hartpury
Jersey 5 v Doncaster 2 ... A great game in Doncaster a few weeks ago in the cup which the Knights edged. I think that The Reds will return the favour. Always close these games and this will be no exception.
London Scottish 5 v Ampthill 0 ... LS looking good so far this season and I think that they will be too strong for the newbies, but I fancy that they won't have it all their own way.
Cornish Pirates 4 v Newcastle 1 ... Wow! what a mouth watering prospect this game is. Pirates gave a strong Ealing side a thumping at home 2 weeks ago and I think that they will give the Falcons a serious battle up front. Could be a classic this one.
Yorkshire Carnegie 0 v Coventry 5 ... YC getting closer to scoring their first league point, but they won't do it this week. Another big away win in store i'm afraid.
