FT Chinnor 37-45 Coventry

On the upside - Cov continue to score tries.
On the downside - Cov continue to ship tries.
The race for second continues, though. Cov may have a slight advantage over Bedford having played two fewer home games (although one of those is vs Ealing, I think).
Couldbe an interesting run-in.
I tell a lie. The Ealing game is away (and the other two remaing away fixtures are pretty tough too - as are all matches in this league).

Blues have also now played Coventry 3, Hartpury 4 and Pirates 6. Although a long way to go for the 3 vying for 2nd
Could Donny be late Dark Horses for a tilt at second too?
Doubtful, but not impossible 

I think Knights are a little too far behind, although they have Blues and Coventry at home and away to Hartpury, so could go unbeaten which would put them close.

I can see Donny finishing ahead of Nottingham and Pirates and potentially reeling in Hartpury for 4th but Bedford and Coventry are probably too far ahead, despite the fact we’ve still got them both to play.  Looking at the remaining games, I would have Coventry as strong favourites for 2nd place. They’ve still got a lot of home games left.

An entertaining and enjoyable game at Chinnor today with Coventry good value for their 5 points but Chinnor probably deserved a losing bonus point. Every time it looked like Coventry would run away with the game, Chinnor would come back to score to stay in touch.

One odd item in the match. After Chinnor scored a try to bring the score to 32-38, it looked to me that both touch judges had raised their flags for the conversion. However, the scoreboard did not move on by 2 points so presumably the referee deemed the kick to have missed and overruled his assistants ( which I have seen before ). Chatting to some Coventry supporters after the final whistle, two thought the conversion was good, but two were adamant it had missed !

Anyway, here is the full write-up for anyone interested :

2 on the bounce for Ampthill, now up in the mid table group of clubs as they move into the second half the season strongly as they seem to do most years.

Not sure why this happens, lack of pre-season games perhaps, whatever it is, it seems to play out this way every year.

Shellacking from Ealing next weekend no doubt

Not if last season is anything to go by!

It will help immensely if Ealing can keep a hooker on the field this year.

Will Maisey’s first conversion was a little different
