Thought Bedford played really well and were unlucky not to get more. They looked like they could score from anywhere and made some excellent breaks from their 22. Hard to say who really deserved the win as there was nothing to separate the two sides in a scrappy game in difficult conditions. Happy to be on the correct side of a tight game though.

Sounded like a really absorbing game in Cornwall today. Bedford are starting to get some form back and I am looking at our trip to Bedford next week with more and more trepidation.
Jersey need to win to get some daylight from Coventry who play high frying Pirates at home. Bedford will be looking to win against a decent Jersey side to move further away from YC.
Pirates will be looking to hang on to Newcastle’s shirt tails with a good win at Cov.
2 cracking games in prospect next weekend

What are Bedford doing at the bottom end of the table? yesterday at the Mennaye the real Bedford turned up and gave as good as they got and we had a real game on our hands rather than a top v bottom easy ride as we had two weeks ago. I do think that we deserved the win in the end though as we are getting better at closing tight games out unlike last season were we let tight games slip from our grasp.

Bedford were very good and stretched Pirates to the limit. Pirates had to dig deep and put in a huge defensive shift. Bedford defence was solid and they caused real problems, especially on the left - the winger is very quick!

A small squad and key player injuries I’m afraid Capt.  We were without a recognised fly half for the earlier matches and players had to be shunted around, mainly in the backs.  Now they are returning, so is the confidence and consistency.  Still not there yet, but the home gate has not suffered and there are still some great matches ahead, starting with Jersey on Saturday.  Can’t wait.

Will see you there Cricks. This is normally a very entertaining game and I do like the Bedford supporters (even those who sing boring boring Jersey)

I think that we will be down the bottom of the hill, in the corner that used to be a swamp, unless the lads stand somewhere else now
