FT Reds 31 LonScots 13, just one try apiece in 2nd half

They are the home team - they get listed first. Basic politeness. Even more so when it is your (away) team that has cancelled and their (home) team that has suffered the loss of unrecoverable costs due to that.

Spot on mate. We need to keep hospitality and camaraderie at the forefront at this difficult time. Jersey left 5 tries un-scored in the second half today and Scottish defence and effort was magnificent. Jersey got 5 league points and Salad the legend scored a try for Scottish - EXCELLENT.  It was bitterly cold at the end with a 3pm kickoff but I assume the bar takings were really good. The Championship table 2021-2022 (championshiprugby.co.uk) Incredibly with postponements Jersey move up a place - I assume Ealing & Pirates are properly worried.

Sadly I couldn’t go to the game today due to Covid and had to resort to listening to the game from the confines of my bedroom.
From what I heard, LS defended our maul very well throughout and for the first 45 minutes the game was very even.
However, the quality that the Reds have available to them from the bench proved a bit too much and after Salad’s score, they didn’t get close again.
A huge shout out to 19 year old Harry Doolan who came on at Hooker 5 minutes into the game and never looked out of place, despite only having 16 or so Championship minutes under his belt. Probably unlucky not to get MOTM.

Seriously, having travelled to Hartpury to see a close away win a few years ago - the amount of home supporters wouldn't be missed if they failed to tepurn up - so unless Trailfinders were taking a substantial amount of followers ( which I would doubt) the losses would be minimal. However as Glaws were playing yesterday evening the home support might have been a little larger

[/QUOTE]Great post mate. I've been to Pury quite a few times and the Home support was hospitable and committed - brilliant burgers in the pop up bbq as well.

Personally, if teams are able to play I’d continue playing rather than having a forced break because it’s quite possible there will be more covid outbreaks later in the season, so if you don’t have one atm then you may as well get the game on. We would play no matter what, Jersey should be COVID free and then we would get a team out. It is too much money to lose. We don’t exactly have a big squad so if we can’t field a team, we can’t field a team  We would borrow from other clubs, Northampton would help, get Sharp and McCarthy to dust off the boots.

I’m sorry but you are living in a bubble if you think Bedford are somehow immune from the risk of postponing a fixture due to covid. I really hope the game goes ahead but if there’s an outbreak in the squad, it won’t happen regardless of the financial cost. Saints have their own games to worry about and if we were hit by covid, I don’t think they’d be keen to send a bunch of other squad players here with the risk of them becoming unavailable
