Ealing 47 (BP) Coventry 5 (1T) FT' - very loose 2nd half, but not much to show for it

Yes, agree; the way the Reds started there could have been 3 tries in 1st quarter, maybe a BP b4 HT, but instead chances were missed, Amps defended gamely, rode the punches & struck on the counter with a score that could well be try of the week; visitors a wee bit unfortunate to be denied a try right on HT when the ref ruled a maul to be over & blew whistle a just as it regained momentum & hooker touched down.
I’d describe the 2nd half as more even but Reds still had most territory & possession. But again short of points until crucial try with 10 to play. Important win after consecutive losses…

Just watched the match now (best value £2, an absolute bargain!).  Fantastic intensity and was a truly gritty win when it just didn't seem to be our day.  Amp's battled well throughout as you would expect to make it a really exciting game, albeit hugely nail biting!

Very pleased with 52-17 given then nearly 6 weeks break the squad have had.
Pirates looked a little rusty for the first 30 minutes, despite scoring a couple of early tries out of nothing. We had no go-forward as Nottingham's defense was brilliant for a long period in the first half, repeatedly pushing us back several yards.
A Notts yellow card early in the second half allowed us to play with more width and take advantage of the extra man, something Pirates have a history of failing to do.
From 55 minutes onwards it was a relentless Pirates onslaught, and Notts weren't able to find an answer.

A much needed five points to begin a gruelling run of consecutive fixtures to complete the season.

Fully agree I was happy to pay £7 for each streamed game although the kick off times meant I only saw the second half of the Pirates v Notts game live. The price includes a free replay which I will save until after the end of dry January when my nails have grown back! Two games well worth watching - more streamed games please.  
Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD.

Once upon a time there lived a handsome but ageing rugby supporter. He lived in the lovely Yorkshire Dales with his beautiful wife, and he supported Ampthill RUFC who he once played for, and Wharfedale RUFC, who are his local team now.
One day he was presented with a problem which troubled him deeply. He was going to watch Wharfedale play Bourneville at The Avenue in Threshfield, one of the prettiest grounds in the country. Whilst he was there his lovely wife would go shopping locally in Grassington. But then he learnt that Ampthill were to live stream their game against Jersey at the same time.
His wife noticed he was troubled and asked what was wrong. When he explained everything to his wife she looked at him and said he must not worry about her shopping trip and that he should stay at home and watch the live game. In fact she offered to pop down to the village store and get him some beers and snacks to enjoy during the game.
He thanked his wife, she fetched the beers and snacks, and he watched the game which Ampthill won by fifty points to nil.
And they all lived happily ever after.

And that is the end of that fairy tale.

I actually watched Wharfedale beat Bournville 30-18 in a highly entertaining game with my mate whilst the two wives shopped for England in Skipton. And of course Ampthill didn’t win. And I slipped to 4th in the prediction table. Welcome back to the real world.
Always trying to stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

Just as you described it on the wireless Islander. Great commentary BTW, as fair to both sides as you could be, especially in the 1st half when the game was almost entirely in the Ampthill half/22, but from your descriptions it sounded as though the home defense was quite superb.
Delighted to get back to winning ways and we have a tough home game against Mond next week. Looking forward to that one!
Tackle Low!!!!!

I'd say it was more excellent defence by Ampthill than Jersey missing chances.

Jersey had 3 catch and drives that were turned over at the maul or nicked in the line out in the first 30 mins or so.

Jersey didn't fluff anything they just didn't have the game to get over the line for much of the match to the point that, although they were the better side, it looked like Ampthill would win with 10-15 to go.

Shame Harri Morgan limped off after 15 minutes, he could have been a point of difference in the second half

Ampthill scored the try of the match in the first half too, a loose kick by Jersey to the 15 being run all the way in for a try through multiple hands.

I was impressed by how well drilled Jersey were, their ball moved away from the breakdown far quicker than Ampthill's but even then they rarely stretch dates Ampthill defence .

So well matched sides, but the right result if I am being honest, Jersey must have had 60% possession and an even higher % field position.

The non-try on half time was yet another maul turn over for Ampthill in the refs opinion, it was just that Jersey carried on playing after he'd blown up and Ampthill didn't

I feel I gave Ampthill due credit in my comments above, including the superb try in the first half. As I predicted, it went on to win try of the week, gaining 52% of the votes in a four-horse race... Thumbs Up
