Ealing 64 - Hartpury 10 FT. My five year old declined to come to the game because, and I quote, "Ealing are just going to kill them." Smart lad. Little to take away from that match.

Your son is Right, what is the point of this cup, unless Ealing send out their 3B side then there is no point in turning up to take a hammering, clubs are already resting players ready for the next round of serious fixtures in the league. The decision not to go to a 14-team league was a mistake. 12 plus the cup is the same number of games and they would be more competitive and attract bigger crowds, the excuse that it would mean spreading the RFU money thinner no longer applies as clubs are only getting £140 less insurance now.

I think the lack of any comment from Bedford fans , win or lose shows exactly how little support there is for this cup competition in its current format. There would usually be in depth analysis by knowledgeable Blues supporters but absolutely no response is surprising . No try of the day, no disputing referees decisions and mention of the Blues opposition tries from rolling mauls. I am not overly keen on this cup competition but I did attend . It is a rugby match and there were some new combinations and debuts. There seemed to be a uplift in defence and a collective resolve and determination to hold the line. The Forthcoming game against Jersey will be incredibly interesting from both teams. How much will be given away or retained for the league games. Will Jersey dominate the set piece ?. I am looking forward to that game but dependant on long haul flights to make the game at Ealing Trailfinders.

This could have been a lot more interesting if we had a competition involving Champ teams and Nat 1 teams. Something different for supporters of all those clubs and a chance to visit different places and meet new rugby people. The only benefit of the current cup competition is that some "fringe" players get a chance to show what they can do and impress the coaches.

Pictorial evidence suggests Blues fans visited RAG for our second trip in a week.
It was also biggest night of the year at Goldington Road as we hosted the annual fireworks. Interesting hearing spectators saying they didn’t know what the ground was like, or it’s drinking facilities. Some hinting they might come down for a game. Blues biggest weakness, imo, is not having a second team. A Wanderers team, with active promotion might bring some new faces to our club. Although I might have the conflict of Wanderers or Bedford Ath.

The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.
