Ealing continue to drip-feed announcements. Backrow/2nd Row Rob Farrar signs from Newcastle, as does Will Montgomery, also a back/2nd row. Both are the sorts of young players who get regular appearances, but rare starts as far as I can tell. Not sure why Ealing have raided Newcastle so hard recently, but I wonder if there has been more focus on English talent this year due to having many of the young talents that they signed from South Africa head back home after one season.

Also four academy players were signed to senior contracts: Harry Dugmore, Cam Terry (hooker who scored 5 tries in the cup), Tom Georgiou, and Isaac Shaw.

Harry Dugmore will be one to watch had a great season on loan at Blackheath with a couple of Kgs and a little wisdom will be superb

I think I remember Will Owen and Nile Dacres playing for us.  But Kimbo is hinting that Rob Knox may be heading our way.  He appears to be a centre, apart from that I know little about him.

You picked the same two I did. 

Didn't Dacres have a nasty injury the other season? He was quite promising when in Red and Black I always thought.

Dacres was an excellent lineout player, perhaps slightly less effective in the loose -although he did turn up on a lot of my photos of the action.

He spent an awful lot of this last season injured though and I have no idea how his recovery was going. I am sorry to see hileave, but it's not a great surprise. He was a player I enjoyed watching play.

Not a hint.
He's played well this season, and will go well for you.

'turn up' is how I remember him - one of a number of our players at that time who just used to pop up all over the pitch regardless of where they 'should' be - George Oram would be another one of those, as would Jack Preece.

Bags of energy.

I hear you, but will wait for the official announcement from Mose.

Another announcement. Either-side young prop Ollie Andrews joins from Cardiff Met.
He previously played for Cov as injury cover against Doncaster this season, and impressed then.

Rob Knox is a great player seems to have an ability to give himself so much time and space on the ball. Great decision maker and seems to see gaps that shouldn’t be there. Nile Dacres must be one of the top defensive line out operatives in the championship or national 1, when he was partnered with Tom Jubb they offered a distinctly difficult second row to play against

I'm liking the sound of him already, let's hope that all the i's have been dotted and t's crossed on the contract.

He's a good bloke, reasonably local, not quite as fast as he once was, but can still break tackles, and has a very good long kick for those 50m+ penalties. He should be very useful to you.

I'd forgotten Knocker's monster kicks. Haven't seen one for  a while. I think we were all a little bemused the first time he stepped up for one, but there was no doubting his ability after the first.
I'll miss those!

Today's two announcements from Coventry.
Lock, Rhys Thomas retained and promoted from the Academy to the full team.

Hooker Jordan Poole, previously a loaner from Exeter signed to Coventry.
The latter had been signposted during the cup when he started as Captain on two occasions, despite being a loan player.

Both players are very welcome retentions.

The speed issue probably won't matter so much in National League 1, but monster kicks could be very useful.  Our kickers have been decent, but long range hasn't been an option for them unless there's been a strong trailing wind.
