Championship - Round 12

FT Bedford 19 - 15 Coventry. Blues are on a roll now.

17-30 FT at the RAG according to BBC

Still no eye witness accounts from the RAG. I guess many Notts supporters may have found it difficult to get there on a Friday night. There were formerly several active posters from LS, but don't seem to hear from them much these days...

I can't recall Twitter dropping out during matches for some time b4 last night...

Ht Reds 10 Ealing 11 - as tight as that sounds

Just back home from St. Peter’s. Believe me, this was a game of the highest quality between 2 very evenly matched sides and when it is that close games hinge on mistakes. Sadly for Jersey it fell to Will Homer, who was the best Ref on the park I have to say, whose poor clearance kick fell to Ealing just outside the 22 and boy did they make us pay.
Jersey looked like winning it up until then, mainly thanks to Homers 2 fantastic tries, but when you play a top quality side like Ealing, give them an inch......
Fantastic game if rugby!!

Fully agree best game I have seen at St Peter all season. Well played both teams and good luck to Ealing for the rest of season.

Have to disagree with Brizzer and his view of Will Homer's play. Had he not been replaced,  the Jersey break soon after would have been a winning try but  sadly his replacement does not  and did not have the legs for a 7 pointer. This was a very good match which could have gone either way but for small margins.

Have to agree with Jerorky. Moving Homer out to the wing was a crazy decision. That effectively put him out of the game. He was man of the Match in all our books well before Islander made the announcement.

No problem from here with the changes that were made by the coaching staff. To take a winger of Morgan’s class off is not one that would have been taken lightly.... know what I mean? Still, this was a great game of rugby and well done to ET for taking their chances when they came. PL quality game... really!

Very sad that I couldn't be there this year, sounded a great game, but the daughter's birthday party took precedence. Nevertheless, very much enjoyed listening on the radio - always very entertaining commentary. Could do with less cowbells though.
