It is difficult to understand how you could destroy Ampthill the other week then lose to Richmond at home, and Ampthill could look utterly clueless against the Blues and then fly to Jersey and get a draw in a game they probably should have won. Predicting the results at the moment appears to be a mugs game. |

At last a sporting response. To the other Bedford bloggers, line outs, getting touch etc are as much part of the game as brilliant back play. Blaming the ref is always a cheap shot.

No complaints from me about the result or the ref today, Richmond were good for the win, playing a fast paced game, with a pretty solid defence.
We weren’t at our best, too many errors, poor line out, missed tackles and touch missed numerous times when clearing our lines. From memory, I think Richmond scored 2 tries from clearances that missed touch and one from a line out turnover. Richmond’s scrum was strong, there 15 always looked threatening, as did the 14, better side edged it on the day. Looking forward to the return fixture, and a bit of payback

I want you all to line up in a circle and pair up in three's alphabetically by height.

Ealing 73 - Coventry 24 (3T) - 5-0 FT. I made the long, long drive to Coventry (awful traffic, nearly 3 hours), but was rewarded with a very nice performance by Ealing. I was a fan of the squad continuity this week, and it worked well. We won't see that next week though, as three Ealing backs had to leave the match due to injury. As they only had 2 subs in the backs, it was necessary to move Rayn Smid from 8 to 12, and Jordan Burns played on the wing for the whole second half.
Ealing were pretty sharp on attack, and opportunistic in defense with 2 long range intercept tries. Ealing did seem to get the rub of the green from the officials, but overall their scrum was dominant. Score line was similar to the one against Nottingham, but Coventry were far better opposition. Really no complaints from me. First time in Coventry. I liked the number of separate bar stations around the BPA, and I liked how close to the pitch you could get. Had a good natter with an old chap who had supported Cov since the 50s. Catering could use some work - a coffee took nearly 45 minutes to procure.

[Very Federerian reaction, Bedfordian. Sometimes these errors can be due to opposition pressure]
I’ve had to google that. No, completely self inflicted. Richmond will never get a more accommodating home team as this again. Kept giving the ball back though over/under throw line outs, passes to nowhere under no pressure, and they fed off the mistakes. 17 point were scored during the first yellow card (for a first time offence) and it was catch up from then on. Bedford had 2 yellow cards for first time offences…. Richmond committed 3 penalties at the end under their posts and nothing. Saying that Richmond deserved the win and we’re just better. Bedford players obviously read this forum and believed their own hype. A bit of a reality check. Wouldnt want to be in the Bedford changing rooms at the end

Ampthill played very well and were unlucky not to take the win, but credit to Jersey. It certainly wasn't going their way. Ampthill had done their homework and used it effectively but Jersey stuck to their beliefs when it would have been easy to give in and they managed to some how claw back a draw. That was impressive and pleasing. Well played both sides and great to see the legend that is Charlie Beckett.

Totally deserved their 2 points today and to be fair probably deserved more. The Ampthill No. 10 ran the show. Top quality that lad. Disappointed with the bloke in the middle today, thought that he was making up laws at times. Clearly Jersey only wanted to play in the first 10 and the last 10 in this game!! Both sides butchered some scores and a draw is a fair result if you are a Red. Well played the Mob |

Agreed about the referee needing more experience and actually not assisted very well. An assistant ref can’t referee a scrum offence at coming in at an angle when the scrum in is the middle of the pitch. Although Blues looked like they just had to turn up to get 5 points.

Absolute shocker from the Blues. Richmond weren’t good but didn’t have to be.
ATT 2735 I think
