I long ago learned not to make predictions, but I fancy Cambridge for at least a point this week and who knows, maybe even an upset. We have been making big strides forward. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |

I never make predictions, but I have to admit to being impressed by Cambridge's progress, so it wouldn't surprise me one jot. ------------- Our Club |

Ampthill 5-2 Nottingham. The As are scoring freely and I can see them bagging the points here. Bedford 2-5 Pirates. The Pirates are playing incredibly well of late so I can see them having a good trip home. However, my brother, who is a Bedford fan, and an optimist, says Bedford will win this. Caldy 4-1 Coventry. I sense a Coventry wobble and a strong home performance to keep Big Eddie a happy bunny. Doncaster 5-1 Cambridge. Cambridge won last week and are improving all the time. But methinks this is one step too far. Ealing 5-2 Hartpury. Ealing to end Hartpury’s recent good run, but not without a fight. ------------- Always trying to stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. |

Predictions: Ampthill 5 - 1 Nottingham Bedford 5 - 2 Cornish Pirates - Should be a belter - very close call. Caldy 1 - 5 Coventry Doncaster 5 - 1 Cambridge - Cambridge a much improved outfit now and they will make Donny work hard for the win Ealing 5 - 0 Hartpury ------------- Donny Knights - best team in Yorkshire |

Ealing Trailfinders to face Hartpury University RFC: A slightly odd squad. Happy to see Kyle White start, and nice to see JCR get his 100th cap. However if something happens to Montgomery at 8, then it will be a struggle to replace him. Very oddly, Ealing appears to be starting ex-Irish winger Michael Dykes at fullback. I had no idea that he was part of the squad, and last I saw, he was signed to Gloucester. 1 Kyle Whyte 2 Matt Cornish 3 Jimmy Roots 4 Bobby De Wee 5 Barney Maddison 6 Rob Farrar 7 Richard Hardwick 8 Will Montgomery 9 Craig Hampson 10 Craig Willis 11 Tom Collins 12 Pat Howard 13 Reuben Bird-Tulloch 14 James Cordy-Redden 15 Michael Dykes 16 Henry Walker 17 Will Goodrick-Clarke 18 George Davis 19 Danny Cutmore 20 Jordy Reid 21 Lloyd Williams 22 Billy Twelvetrees 23 Cian Kelleher |

| Ealing 12 (2T) - Hartpury 8 25' - very odd officiating is keeping Hartpury in this. Example: Ealing penalized for backchat when it was the captain speaking to Sir. Craig Willis injured, meaning Billy Twelvetrees is on at fly half. |

One attack and 3 trys, that's a good scoring ratio. Maybe if your team stopped giving the pens, just a thought

HT at Blues Pirates fully deserve the lead. Blues have barely had the ball and although one try for Pirates was a bit lucky given the possession and territory it reflects the score. Rayer won’t be happy but Blues have the slope and wind advantage for the 2nd half.

| Ealing 36 (BP) - Hartpury 20 (3T) FT - YC total 3 for Ealing, one for Hartpury. A disjointed mess of a match that I honestly can't take anything from. |

Besides one high tackle, I didnt see many penalties. The officiating was poor in the extreme. The funniest bit is that the one key penalty that Ealing won (a scrum at the Hartpury 22 down a man) should have been awarded to Hartpury. At one point, Ealing stopped a hartpury maul, and it was stood up stationary for nearly thirty seconds. Poor.

Caldy have a decently big set of forwards but Coventry brought monsters to Paton Field today and in the first half mutant power prevailed. 12-19 at half time. The second half was dominated by the home team who out thought and out fought Coventry to pick up a well deserved bonus point win. When the chips were down Coventry didn't look much like a team just a collection of powerful individuals .......Caldy defended ferociously and played the better attacking rugby.. ------------- ''The future isn't what it used to be'' |

Another massive effort from The Pirates. Several key players injured and guys brought in to fill the gaps have slotted in brilliantly. Very close at the end, but another classic between these two teams. ------------- *Stalwart |

Absolutely cracking game at Ampthill. Very nervy until the last second but it was worrying the amount of nasty injuries we picked up. However on a nicer note- everyone I met there was incredibly helpful and very nice (I’m on crutches and I turned up after a morning perusing the shops in Milton Keynes so I had a full backpack and several carrier bags)

A very strange 1st half performance from Bedford, absolutely flat, no pep, no noise, no energy, fair play to CP who took their chances and deserved the win. ------------- I want you all to line up in a circle and pair up in three's alphabetically by height. |

To be fair to Bedford, The Pirates have been very solid defensively all season and it's very difficult to score against them. Listening on the radio it sounded like Pirates had the upper hand at scrum time, which is always pretty crucial. When Bedford beat us at The Mennaye earlier this season, they outgunned us up front, but we have improved a lot since then. The slope, as usual, played its part and Bedford came very close to overturning the deficit near the end. Fine margins decide so many of these games. ------------- *Stalwart |

With 6N on Friday and yesterday, there's almost a complete absence of rugby on today - only 1 Allianz Women's game at 3pm + a French Top 14 game at 8. Seems like the ideal opportunity to get a Champ game on, with TV or streaming; but no, they were all scheduled for yesterday... 
Credit where it's due however: a decent highlights package on social media today - https://twitter.com/Champrugby/status/1754121808117198954" rel="nofollow - LINK

| I watched the Lions game that Plymouth Albion streamed live on you tube, it was a bit dodgy recording at times, but the match was better than the Italy v England game for quality flowing rugby. |

| The one scrum Bedford did get the upper hand, on the Pirates line was given as a CP pen. Had to guess why as with all the game absolutely no signals from Mr Jackson. Not Bedfords favourite official |
