I'm sure they were well represented "upstairs" with the proper people but there was also a really good bunch in the corner by the big screen.

Blues generally have up to 5 Saints players in a squad, but most of those players are season long loans rather than dropped in last minute. At least 2 have ended up injured playing for us.

Last night I think we were giving the Blues 1st team players a rest and gave game time to fringe and 11 young Saints in total. Even though it

B: Pirates 20, Amps 11, Ravers 6, Mond 5

Yes. There were a few and I hope that they have enjoyed a true Jersey weekend.
We don’t care on the numbers, everyone is welcome!!

Answered my own question!

So top 2 of each group and best 2 3rd places go through.

Ealing, Jersey, Pirates and Knights have probably all done enough already.

No TB - only 4 qualify for SFs on 1st w/e May: pool winners + best-placed runner-up

So if both Ealing & Jersey qualify for the Semi Finals do they play each other again at that stage for a place in the final or do they play the other qualifiers?

CC I'm sure you realise that the SF qualifiers aren't yet confirmed, let alone how the four of them will be paired. The regs indicate 1st v 4th and 2nd v 3rd, although there have been adjustments in previous years to keep pool rivals apart in such situations.

Thank you for the correction. Blues need 2 wins then against Cov and Knights to stand a chance and probably a bit of help from Scottish.

At the moment you would expect the best 2nd placed team to come from Pool 1, however, one slip up by either Ealing or Jersey will open the door to a host of other teams. Cov will still have eyes on winning the group in Pool 2, but will need some help along the way. In Pool 3 Pirates have 1 foot I. The semis, but The Mob could be the team to benefit should either of the top 2 in P1 slip up.
Being realistic, there are currently 8 teams I. The mix for 4 semi slots…. All still to play for

I followed the game on Twitter and read like an exceptional game and contest. Well done Jersey.

Mate, you missed an absolute belter. Very high standard from both teams. Jersey were in scoreboard control in the first half, but the Jersey YC just before HT gave Ealing a toe back in the game and boy did they make Jersey pay with scores either side of HT.
The officiating was of a very high standard as well, although I would love to ask ‘sir’ why he didn’t issue a second YC for repeated infringements close to the Ealing line having already given one following a warning. He went for a second warning instead. The game was probably better for only the 1, but it still doesn’t necessarily make it right.
Anyway, I can’t wait for the league game. The league may have been decided by then, but it will be an occasion nevertheless
