This weeks match ups are: Ampthill v Caldy Cambridge v Coventry Hartpury v London Scottish Bedford Blues v Nottingham Ealing Trailfinders v Cornish Pirates Doncaster Knights playing Edinburgh A Some interesting games this week. If the weather is dry the game of the week will be the battle of the backs! Blues at home should win this but it could be 55 - 49! Blues have a weird situation where we have only played 1 away game in the league so far at Pirates. Next week is Ampthill, so almost another home game.

Is that home or away? Edinburgh fans won't be used to away games they can get to apart from the obvious.

Ampthill 5-2 Caldy. Always a close encounter. Cambridge 1-5 Coventry. But this depends on which Coventry team turn up. Hartpury 3-3 L Scottish. Totally impossible to predict until the Scottish team is announced. Bedford 5-2 Nottingham. Possibly the most entertaining game of this round. Ealing 5-2 Pirates. Ealing to win but their defence leaks tries so it will be close. ------------- Always trying to stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. |

Ealing Trailfinders lineup to face Cornish Pirates: Ealing ring in the changes after their poor performance at the RAG. Cornish is the best lineout thrower of our hookers, so I like that change. Rayn Smid is crucial for marshalling the troops, so also glad to see him in the side. The change that concerns me is Dan Lancaster at 10. He has real spark and talent...but his kicking leaves much to be desired. 1 Kyle Whyte 2 Matt Cornish 3 Biyi Alo 4 Bobby De Wee 5 Barney Maddison 6 Jordy Reid 7 Richard Hardwick 8 Rayn Smid 9 Lloyd Williams 10 Dan Lancaster 11 Tom Collins 12 Reuben Bird-Tulloch 13 Dan O’Brien 14 Jonah Holmes 15 Cian Kelleher 16 Henry Walker 17 Sami Mavinga 18 George Davis 19 Danny Cutmore 20 Simon Uzokwe 21 Jordan Burns 22 Craig Willis 23 Will Montgomery |

Blues (5 tries) 35-12 (2 tries) Nottingham Blues have the slope and wind advantage for the 2nd half. Probably the best up the slope performance for a long time. The score could be slightly larger to Blues. The ball has been in play probably longer than some other matches and Nottingham have come to play as well. Blues making plenty of line breaks and Nottingham looked tired at the end of the half.

This was posted on the Northampton Saints forum, no idea where they got the info from, but sounds good news Pirates “ Positive news, as Ben Grubb has been discharged from hospital following tests and scans coming back clear. Ben is on his way back to Cornwall and will continue his rehab at the club next week. Ben would also like to pass on his thanks for all the well wishes.”

The information on the saints forum came from a statement on the Pirates website. The same statement also said that the Ealing player would’ve been red carded if the game had been restarted. It also mentions that when a game is abandoned due to non weather conditions, the decision will be made by the RFU as to outcome/rearrangement. Suspect it will be rearranged, but given pirates were only 12 points down away at Ealing and would’ve had an extra player for the final 20, suspect the rearrangement works to Ealing’s favour more than Pirates. I gather the abandonment was due to the lack of ambulance after the Pirates player was taking to hospital. I’m not sure what the requirements are for this, I would’ve thought clubs should be expected to be more prepared for this eventuality. Going on to the Bedford game, I’m not sure there’s any clubs other than Ealing that will be able to live with us this season in dry weather conditions. This is the slickest Bedford team I’ve seen since the season we had Karl Dickson and Billy Twelvetrees pulling the strings from half back. Our pack is also much improved that we shouldn’t be a pushover anymore in wet conditions. Hope the weather is as dry for the Caldy rearrangement for the game that never was. Forecast for Ampthill away next week is not great so that could be a true test for this team’s potential. We have also been pretty lucky with injuries so far this season and I do think if a few key players got injured, we wouldn’t be able to maintain this level. ------------- Championship Prediction League Winner 11/12 |

I agree there is no weak link in the Blues squad this season. The young Saints have to be very good players to make the 23 weekend squad. Other seasons we’ve had some squad fillers. Also Le Bourgeois has found his attacking skills again after a quieter season last year. I did think the Nottingham 15 looks good and we kept the other Nottingham speedsters quiet. I saw a stat that Blues averaged 38.9 points a game! The real test will be the away games in the muddy conditions but 100% away record (1 win at Pirates) isn’t a bad start.

I am just surprised the number of ambulances that have to be taken out of action for sport. I saw that Pirates used to have a paramedics car but that's not good enough anymore. I think as long as you have the necessary equipment, a doctor and paramedics all available within a few minutes that is a lot better than pretty much everyone else has in a workplace.

On a lighter, more positive note, Ampthill's decision to provide free tickets purchased in advance for last Saturday's game against Caldy resulted in a crowd of nearly 1,300, and all tickets for the up and coming fixture with Bedford this Saturday have now been sold. I would absolutely love to be there.

"It looks like Saints have converted Garside into a winger, so not sure we’ll see him at scrum half this season and he’ll likely be our wing cover. Saints have a host of injuries in the back 3 atm, so he may well get some prem games." Garside is a nifty scrum half, capable of creating real mayhem, but is way to small to feature as a winger. Yes, I know, Shane Williams etc can cut the mustard at the highest level but I thought that young Garside looked lost when he played on the wing for Bedford a few weeks ago.

He knew exactly what he was doing, the Blues player didn’t move, it wasn’t like other reds card that can seem harsh and because of a size differential. He didn’t even need to try and clear out a player nowhere near the ball when the ruck was already lost. Also the referee seemed to be looking straight at it even more worryingly.

Two ambulances is one of the many derided Minimum Standards for the Premiership, precisely because of situations like this. A Cup semi final was delayed for 15 minutes at Leicester in 1992 because the medics & ambulance was taking a fan to hospital following a heart attack & they had to wait for them to return. I don't think adequate medical cover is particularly impractical for a sport where you are paying the players & accepting money from the spectators.

Posted By: WEvans
Date Posted: 19 Dec 2023 at 13:23
So according to your logic every club where players are paid and spectators pay money should have a minimum of two ambulances like the Premiership. Sorry as I said before it's hardly practical is it?

Given that in most matches, the ambulance just sits there. If you have a paramedic and a doctor and a team of physios trained in first aid - with a properly stocked medical room - then having the ambulance on call is probably sufficient - and that is what most amateur and semi pro players have. And the only time we have needed the air ambulance to land, was to bring extra morphine for a Shelford 3rd XV player. His studs stuck in the ground as he chased down and tackled from behind, and his leg tried to move in a way legs don't. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |
