Hi KB, well our style of play has not been affected, to the appreciation (and insistence) of the Blues fans.  There are regular changes to the line up and as a long time supporter, I find it difficult to name the player on sight at times.  There is a large main core of Blues players, in fact the starting 15 at Caldy were all Blues.  Last night V Scottish there were Saints players e.g. the Grayson brothers, Tom Litchfield, Joel Matavesi.  However that is rare to see as many.  As with our link up with Saracens years ago, a player can get pulled out at short notice which is a bit of a pain.  Some great tries last night and despite it being a dying rubber the atmosphere was electric.

Fair play to Bedford. That is 8 out of 8 home wins for them in all competitions this season. The only dropped point was at home to Coventry in the cup.

Was it not for the deliberate k/o Islander? Or was it a seperate offense?

HT Pirates 15 Richmond 0

Jersey 28 Ealing Trailfinders 27.

Full time Ampthill 31-26 Caldy. Phew .

With ET missing a conversion to win it at the end it could not have been closer. ET still top the group but both teams will have a good chance of making the semi finals. Great entertainment and a few cracking tries for each team. Let's hope the game in April is just as good.

For me the result is just as the ET third try came from a clear push on the original high ball. Apparently the Lino called it but the ref didn’t hear the call.
Don’t get me wrong. This was a fantastic game of rugby played at the highest standard. Seriously good game.
Oh! And there were a few try of the season contenders. For me, Jersey’s third gets it
