London Scottish 5 - 2 Nottingham - one that could go the other way, but a Friday night makes it hard to travel Bedford Blues 5 - 2 Doncaster Knights - Blues to win it, but not with a drop goal, but a Fyn Brown try to upset the Knights faithful. Although I could also see this going the other way between 2 well matched teams. Hope we have some 2nd rows returning from injury, as all 4 could be out! Caldy 0 - 5 Coventry - the pitch is not a mud bath so only one winner by a decent margin Cambridge 0 - 5 Cornish Pirates - Pirates will be determined to get their season going and Cambridge won’t stop them Chinnor 2 - 5 Hartpury - Could go the other way but I see Hartpury coming out on top. Hartpury’s defence was not great against Blues, so I expect lots of points Ealing 5 - 0 Ampthill - don’t see Ampthill winning this one even with Sarries assistance |

Having watched Chinnor last weekend, if they keep upping the anti as it were, I believe they will trouble many in the Division. Little surprised by the numbers going for a Hartpury win. ------------- John Butler |

LS 14 Notts 48 (FT) That scoreline tonight really doesn’t reflect well on Donny’s performance last week. A lot of the Scottish team that played last week played tonight. Nottingham are having a great season this year, that’s another top result for them. ------------- Donny Knights - best team in Yorkshire |

All a bit bizarre. We won at Nottingham and lost at Scottish, then Notts monster the Scots on a Friday night. That’s before we get started on Donny’s results.

I watched the Newcastle vs Exeter game on TNT Sports. The Newcastle pack looked decent but their backs were ordinary, and Exeter were simply awful apart from Feyi-Waboso and Josh Hodge ( both former National League One players ! )

| Ealing 0 - Ampthill 0 - Ampthill had a kick charged down, penalized for taking the man out in the air, and yellow carded for a deliberate knock on in the first 58 seconds. |

And Ampthill have lost a starter to injury after 2 minutes.

| Ealing 17 (3T)- Ampthill 0 - 11' - All Ealing so far with Reiben Bird Tulloch scoring 2 and a great Tom Collins kick and gather. |

| Ealing 45 (BP)- Ampthill 0 - HT - This is perhaps the worst thrashing that I have seen at this level. |
Posted By: The Blues
Date Posted: 19 Oct 2024 at 15:45

HT Blues (2 tries) 15-10 (1 try) Knights Blues go down the slope 2nd half and should probably be a few more points up. Blues also had to sub 2 backs in the first 20 mins so hopefully no more required as we just have the scrum half left.

| Ealing 64 (BP)- Ampthill 0 48' - Tom Collins scored his 3rd try on another beautiful chip and chase. Richard Barrington on as a sub. Strangely, there were maybe 500 here at kickoff, but maybe 1500 here now (though no one in the unloved East stand). |

Blues v Knights. Knights seem to have more ball and territory 2nd half and a couple of key moments when soon after Knights scored (from an offside position) Blues got an intercept to open the gap back up. First time that I can remember where Blues pack had the better of Knights.

Caldy had some of their big guns back from injury and it showed, they should have won. leading by a point with a couple of minutes to go they lost possession in a driving maul and Cov built enough pressure to get a penalty. One that got away. They will feel a helluva lot better for a decent performance though. ------------- ''The future isn't what it used to be'' |

Was it 14 unanswered tries for Ealing today?! As the Mob DoR, what on earth do you say in the changing room after that drubbing of over a point a minute? I've no idea. Did Ampthill have any/many Sarries DRs with them today? Donny and Pirates in unchartered territory down the bottom with Caldy, who must have thought they'd finally get a win today. When or where they will get one is anyone's guess.

A bit of an eye-opener for Chinnor at home today against Hartpury. With less than 50 minutes played it was 0-34, and it should have been more, and a 50 to 60 point hammering looked on the cards. Chinnor had conceded numerous penalties, kicked restarts straight into touch and failed to find touch with penalties. However, they showed great spirit in the final 30 minutes to score 19 unanswered points. It wasn't enough, but they showed they have the ability to play at this level, but they need to improve the discipline and cut-out the unforced errors......... Hartpury looked a decent all round side, and fly-half Balzagette controlled operations for them. Attached is a full report for anyone interested. https://fatbearssportingdiaries.blogspot.com/2024/10/chinnor-19-34-hartpury-university-att.html" rel="nofollow - https://fatbearssportingdiaries.blogspot.com/2024/10/chinnor-19-34-hartpury-university-att.html

I honestly think that Ealing needs to work on counting attendees. I know the capacity of the various stands around the pitch; and they were full enough that the number of bodies in them had to have been over 1000 yesterday. I know Ealing often doesn't count kids under 16 or people coming on bring-a-friend tickets. While they get little gate revenue, based on my own son's cadging of at least £10 of sweets and food each week, they certainly get some bar takings. A local derby amateur match immediately after the Ealing - Ampthill game also likely contributed to the arrival of a goodly number of additional folks by half-time.

After the main event Ealing Trailfinders 1871 the amateur team played a Brunel University team the crowd did swell during the Championship game with hundreds of students following their team . Ealing Trailfinders won 34 to 29. Both teams promoted to counties 1 Herts and Middx L7 This season. The crowd attendance for a Championship game was low. ------------- Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. |

Thanks to all the Pirates supporters who made the long journey East, and the equally long journey home. Fan like those are the bedrock of rugby. At least the weather, which had made a mess of the curtain raiser - the first Ladies' Town v Gown - was good. An excellent win in a hard fought contest. A short break, then on to Doncaster looking for an away win. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |
