Just back from St. Peter where Jersey did their best to gift Coventry a win but managed to eventually secure a bonus point win 22-15 despite 3 yellow cards to none.
Really poor discipline from the Reds, but magnificent defense. In truth Coventry never looked like scoring from open play and Jersey were worthy winners.... but only just. I think that Cov will play a lot better than they did today, but their 10 was superb.
A special mention to the forwards for Jerseys 2nd try as their efforts in defense from an attacking position 5 mtrs out pushed Coventry outside the 22 before forcing a dropped ball which was kicked the length of the field for the Jersey backs to finish off. A real example of turning defense into attack.

Agree  with that assessment and both teams will play better as the season progresses but really gritty win from Jersey.  Fantastic defence from Jersey gave them the platform to get the win and Jersey's discipline will improve. Expecting Cov to be up there at the end of the season, they will be better but some really smart tactical work today to keep them in the game.  Great game to watch, well done both teams.

And thank you for denying Falcons the BP as well. I have a feeling this season may come down to BPs. Is Mark Briggt still captaining?

Ampthill 20 Nottingham 44, match report here, Nottingham well worth the win

Amps discipline dire, 4 yellow cards, 2 for 1 player meaning more than 45 minutes played a man down.

The home side might feel aggrieved that so many decisions went against them but gifting 20 points (2 converted tries and 2 silly penalties) isn't going to help. Nottingham were much more street smart, hopefully the lessons will be learnt.


a Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother

well Donny won ugly, too many players out of position in my opinion although the lads who played out of position did well enough. Hartpury, were up for the challenge, their number 8 was on fire (red head as well). We will take the 4 points willingly, and sit above Falcons on the table (great work LS), one suspended key player back next week, a few more injured players hopefully returning soon.

Rory Pitman came off injured yesterday, I hope it was precautionary and nothing serious.
Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny!

Falcons playing well but will be better when their internationals return, Mulipola, Chris Harris, Greg Peterson, Matavesi, Talulua and Cooper Vuna. Should be an interesting season in the Championship.

Chris Harris has gone to Gloucester and I think Olmstead left part way through last season. Front row looked very average yesterday. But stronger bigger props to return.

Need to remind myself that Ealing didn't manage any points last year in the first game either... :(
