Ealing team news

Pretty strong team, I might have went Tizanno 8 and Uzokwe 7, or started Shingler, but I am fine with this. I think a few leavers are in the squad who otherwise might not be.
Both squads are missing a few key players mate but I'm sure the lads selected will give their best. From the games I've seen Ealing have had the outstanding squad this season but been just below par in a couple of key matches whereas Jersey have probably massively exceeded expectations and carried their luck when necessary. At home Ealing should win tomorrow but if BA do their stuff tomorrow morning I hope to see both teams leave nothing behind and the best team on the day prevail. Either team would be a breath of fresh air in the premiership but if they cant see it I'm just as happy to look forward to seeing old friends in the Championship. Howay Jersey give it your best lads.
Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD.

By not showing the Championship Cup Final live on TV, I think that the RFU, Championship Rugby and, perhaps Ealing, are showing this tournament the contempt that most of us think it deserves!

Although the Reds are suffering a few end of season injuries, this is still a very strong side and I think that the game will be won/lost for either side out wide tomorrow.
Really sorry to see those who are leaving go, but we can only wish them well. All smashing lads who have played their part in an incredible season. A special shout out to TJ Harris. He has been superb over the 4 seasons that he has spent with us and hopefully he can leave with 2 winners medals hanging around his neck. You will get a few beers bought for you next season when you visit with your new club.
Where's the Cov Kid off to next, do we know yet?
Presumably not back home as we seem to be ok for hookers.

Not yet confirmed, altho' believe you may be right about where he isn't going...
He lives 50 yards away from me and I also believe Kimbo is right on where he isn't going.
He went to the same school as me, although he might have been there slightly later.... like about 40 years later maybe, and some years after Danny Grewc ock left too. Wink

Howay Jersey lets have a live stream please.

Think you howayed the wrong people CC; it's very tricky for a visiting team to set up a decent stream if the host club & organising body decline to do so...
I accept the rebuke mate. I'm one of the lucky few who managed to get flights so if BA do their stuff tomorrow I'll be there but its still a huge pity it couldn't be streamed for the rest of the supporters. The game will no doubt be televised anyway for disciplinary purposes and shown on the big screens in the bar at Ealing so its surprising that a live stream option couldn't be set up. Pirates managed it for the Semi-final in Penzance last week so it strikes me that if the will is there it can happen.

But we do not need to worry for next season, as we do not have a Championship cup.
 

Quite tricky to pre-plan when, prior to Friday evening, there were 8 different permutations covering the 2 teams in the final and the location at which it would be played. And only 3 working days (or 2 in Jersey thanks to Liberation Day) before the visiting team would be setting off. As I've mentioned before, back-to-back rounds of a KO competition are a 'king nightmare!

That's the semi-final involving the Cheats so isn't worth bothering with.
