I'm told there's only 10 D/R in the Scottish squad to play Cambridge - just over 40% and less than a LS core XV

If they were season long loans with salary costs I'd be less frustrated.

HT Ampthill 12-12 Blues

2 tries each.

The wind and good lifting by Ampthill is stopping Blues with about 8 lost lineouts and 2 won.

Well done Caldy and Cambridge!

Blues weren’t at their best today, but keep marching on with 5 points.

Blues dominated the scrum with a lot of penalties and a pushover and even pushed Ampthill off their ball a couple of times. However in the windy conditions the lineout was a disaster.

On to Coventry.

Well done Caldy - you played well and deserved the win. Doncaster need to go back t the drawing board and plan better - and learn to adjust as the game shifts. Chances blown by the knights
Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny!

It was a bizarre last ten minutes, with Cambridge knocking on over the line, leading to a GLDO.
Then Scottish gain the ball and should have scored, but they knocked on - but with advantage.
Cambridge held them out and won a penalty, then went the length of the pitch, scoring with time in the red - leaving a tricky kick into the wind.

Do not know the official numbers, but not that many - looked like just over a thousand.

914 inc all season ticket holders so prob just over 800 actually attended.

Caldy steaming along nicely now, and a very satisfying result for Cambridge.
Good to see the recent additions to the league making their mark.

Great clip of the winning Cambridge conversion (a tough one, with ‘placer’ standing by due to wind) & subsequent celebrations on Champ TwitteX - I remember Jersey celebrating a 1st Champ win after 6 straight losses in 2012, our 1st season. And against Scottish too - by 20-17
