Pictorial evidence suggests Blues fans visited RAG for our second trip in a week.
It was also biggest night of the year at Goldington Road as we hosted the annual fireworks. Interesting hearing spectators saying they didn’t know what the ground was like, or it’s drinking facilities. Some hinting they might come down for a game. Blues biggest weakness, imo, is not having a second team. A Wanderers team, with active promotion might bring some new faces to our club. Although I might have the conflict of Wanderers or Bedford Ath.

This could have been a lot more interesting if we had a competition involving Champ teams and Nat 1 teams. Something different for supporters of all those clubs and a chance to visit different places and meet new rugby people. The only benefit of the current cup competition is that some "fringe" players get a chance to show what they can do and impress the coaches.

I think the lack of any comment from Bedford fans , win or lose shows exactly how little support there is for this cup competition in its current format. There would usually be in depth analysis by knowledgeable Blues supporters but absolutely no response is surprising . No try of the day, no disputing referees decisions and mention of the Blues opposition tries from rolling mauls. I am not overly keen on this cup competition but I did attend . It is a rugby match and there were some new combinations and debuts. There seemed to be a uplift in defence and a collective resolve and determination to hold the line. The Forthcoming game against Jersey will be incredibly interesting from both teams. How much will be given away or retained for the league games. Will Jersey dominate the set piece ?. I am looking forward to that game but dependant on long haul flights to make the game at Ealing Trailfinders.

Your son is Right, what is the point of this cup, unless Ealing send out their 3B side then there is no point in turning up to take a hammering, clubs are already resting players ready for the next round of serious fixtures in the league. The decision not to go to a 14-team league was a mistake. 12 plus the cup is the same number of games and they would be more competitive and attract bigger crowds, the excuse that it would mean spreading the RFU money thinner no longer applies as clubs are only getting £140 less insurance now.

Ealing 64 - Hartpury 10 FT. My five year old declined to come to the game because, and I quote, "Ealing are just going to kill them." Smart lad. Little to take away from that match.

Simon Uzokwe just charged down a kick, gathered it, ran over a Hartpury defender, and scored from 30meters. Beast. 31- 0. 47'.

Ealing 24 (4t) - Gloucester b 0 - HT Not as close as the score suggests. Gloucester B have made maybe 10 meters with ball in hand. Jack Grant ended the half with a 90 meter solo wonder try, leaving half the opposition jock straps on the pitch.

Shocking rain squalls during the game but Caldy had too much power up front for Ampthill. Huge penalty count against Ampthill and their scrum was comprehensively dismantled. Some stand out performances for Caldy including both scrum halves Nye Thomas and Joe Murray who managed the conditions better than the Mob. Nye Thomas was a constant threat behind a dominant pack. Up front Rushton, Sanders, Crowe and Higginson were stand outs for Caldy and although only on the pitch for 10 minutes an act of phenomenal skill and strength by Aigbokhae could have snatched the man of the match award away from the diminutive Nye Thomas who in my view deserved the award. (I do not know whether Nye actually was awarded MoM) As the Mob's driving maul pushed towards the Caldy line the Ampthill second row broke to dive over the line with most of Ampthill driving behind him. Aigbokhae twisted the big fella onto his back and despite the weight of Ampthill bearing down on him there was no way for Ampthill to ground the ball. Adam Aigbokhae is a freak of nature.
