Ealing Trailfinders to face Doncaster Knights: As you might expect, a strong squad to face Knights. I see many players still missing due to injury, and I would like to see Josh Taylor or Will Montgomery in the squad, but Rayn Smid captaining will have the team working like a well-oiled machine. A strong Welsh pairing at 9-10 as well will bring plenty of experience pulling the strings.

For their game at Northampton, Ampthill made 10 changes from the starting XV last week against Chinnor, and got heavily beaten.

In unrelated news, Saracens A played Edinburgh A last night.........

If Saracens A played Edinburgh that's probably why Amptill made so many changes, their baby sarries weren't available

Ealing 21 (3T) - Donny 20 (2T) 28' - Ealing have been unstoppable with ball in hand, but they have been utterly been utterly boneheaded at the breakdown, giving Donny possession inside the 22 three times.

Ealing 26 (BP) - Donny 28 (3T) HT - as I said, Ealing unstoppable with ball in hand, bit giving up possession and penalties in their own 22 when trying to exit.

Donny have taken full and fair advantage of every Ealing mistake. But they honestly might only have 50 meters made.

Smash and grab job from Bedford against Hartpury. Led for a grand total of about 4 mins but fortunately 2 of those were at the end. Hartpury unlucky to lose, thought they were the better team but Bedford slightly more clinical.

We played without the ball and then butchered try of the week and tried our best to do the same for the winning try.

Always felt we were going to win it.

BBC as accurate as ever, got Donny as played 3 won 2 lost 1 on 9pts, should be 10, only one point but that could be difference in being top, or .....

Looks like someone at the BBC as read my post, their table is now showing us as 10points

An enjoyable day and entertaining match at Chinnor.

Playing with the traditional breeze Chinnor led 24-10 at half time, and could have been further ahead. The second half was tight, and with 12 minutes remaining, Chinnor missed a relatively straight forward penalty which would have left Caldy needing three scores. Caldy came back to make it 24-17 to set up a tense finale, but Chinnor scored with the final play of the game to deprive Caldy of a losing point.

A full review is attached for anyone interested

This league is bonkers. Pirates win away at Nottingham. Nottingham win away at Doncaster, Doncaster win away at Ealing. Pirates, albeit with a lot of injuries to key players lose at L Scottish a week after running Ealing very close.

All meaning that the top of the top battle next week is Coventry vs Chinnor.........

I think Pirates and Ealing probably suffered a little this week after their physical battle last week.

Blues up next for Pirates, so 2 of the harder away games to start off with. Hope we actually turn up for this one!

Chinnor have had almost the nicest possible first 3 games to start the season and ease themselves in.
