Yup- agreed. The game Nottingham played against them in February was one heck of a game.

Cov generally beat Ampthill comfortably at home but have a poor record at their ground. Go to Dillingham Park expecting a win at your peril...

Are you suggesting there is nothing for Championship clubs to play for?

Am having difficulty understanding why it would be massive when there is no chance of promotion.

I could have been a contender.

Friday’s match is massive - I sincerely hope that a raft of missing players are back from injury by then. [/QUOTE]
Ealing have such a massive squad they really should be able to cope with injuries. The Mennaye will be rocking on Friday night - I expect a backlash from Ealing, but if Pirates can get parity at scrum time they could run them close. It's a blow that one of our stand out players (Lefty Zigiaradis) won't be available - he's an Ealing player!

Ampthill thoroughly deserved the win. They took full advantage of the match circumstances and the profligacy of Ealings defence (which has been woeful for weeks).
Ealing lost both their hookers to first half injuries, leading to uncontested scums for the second half, thus denying Ealing an area of real dominance and enabling Ampthill to attack off a secure platform. The consequential absence of a trained lineout thrower also cost Ealing dear, with a number of missed jumpers and crooked throws deep in Ampthill territory Most disappointing was Ealing’s ineptness when attacking though the three-quarters - I seriously wonder what they’re being coached. Friday’s match is massive - I sincerely hope that a raft of missing players are back from injury by then.

“These types of games” mean anyone who aren’t the other couple of full time teams in this league (I.e. Cov, Doncaster and Pirates). Ealing’s resources dwarf every club in this league, even the 3 clubs mentioned above. There is absolutely no reason they should be losing to any of the part time clubs in this league. It’s no disrespect to Ampthill.

I can kind of understand the result, the players have been told that their season is over.

“these types of games” ? That’s a bit disrespectful. Ampthill are a bona fide Championship club, there by merit. Don’t rain on their parade. |

I really don’t understand why Ealing persist with Ben Ward. There are no excuses for Ealing losing these types of games.

Nice one.
Keeps the gap slightly more breachable. Are Ealing doing a Leicester City?
