No mauled tries!

The No 8 was involved in all three , nothing spectacular but each time got Jersey on the front foot and created fast ball. 

Three top tries.
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.

Cant see Donny turning around the 13 point deficit, they were surprisingly woeful yesterday. I guess the only thing is they surely cant be that bad again.  Can they?

Crowds (according to TRP): Ampthill 550, Donny 610, Pirates 655, Hartpury 758. The lowest of those figures was exceeded by several Nat Lg sides, including Fylde (biggest of day outside Prem at 1,106), Sedgeley Pk, Cinderford, Bishops St, DMP, Rams & Taunton...

Thanks for the gracious comments regarding Coventry.

Hoping it's as good a game next week for the return fixture.

Yes I must say I thought Coventry would be a handful this season but they did seem to have one injury after another and they couldn’t get a settled team on the pitch - is it a coincidence that when they’ve got a more consistent squad each week they’ve started hitting their straps?. I think not. I know we won at Pirates in the last round but I’d be surprised if we overturned a 13 point deficit given what I saw today. 



It's a funny old competition. Pirates won at Donny but were well beaten at The Mennaye (previously unbeaten at home all season). There are a lot of changes in personnel but Donny were really good at The Mennaye and I was surprised they came unstuck at home yesterday.

Looking forward to some real close games and one or two surprises.
Well, with Bedford and Cov at home it surely won't be worse.

Very sad to say that it looks like Adam Korzyk has a fairly serious leg injury 15 minutes into his comeback game after a year off. Feel terrible for him.

Pirates 38 Bedford 37
A last minute converted try gives the pirates a one point advantage to take into next weeks 2nd leg.
Although there is a lot going on in Cornwall this weekend with the annual gig rowing championships on the Isles of Scilly and Cornwall were playing a Crawshays Welsh XV in Camborne this afternoon it was a very disappointing crowd and I can't remember the last time the pirates played before a crowd that was less than a thousand.

Went to the game at Castle Park today and Coventry were excellent for the vast majority of the match. Donny were comprehensively outplayed in the first half - we did better in the second half but on the whole Coventry’s defence was excellent and didn’t give us many chances. I think a 13 point margin is about right. On a bright and sunny day only 610 people turned up which probably tells you all you need to know about the cup. 14 team league next season please…. 

P.S. Well done to Coventry fans, there was a very good and vocal away following today, particularly as it was a cup match.

or stick with 12 competitive teams PLUS a proper cup competition involving the better Scots, Irish, Welsh & if possible French D2 Clubs.

I hope the RFU see the attendances and realise how shocking this cup is.

14 teams next year in the league might be the best solution…or better 16 like Pro2 in France.
Wow. And to think I was mildly miffed at last week's BPA turnout.

The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.
