Ealing 31 (BP) - Cambridge 7 - 50' Ealing has gotten on sir's bad side and conceded the last 6 or 7 penalties. Cambridge have had 90% possesion this half. Ealing sure to be carded

Ealing 50(BP) - Cambridge 7 - 65' YC woke Ealing up, and they have overpowered Cambridge in the last 15.

With a rest week next week, and no Jersey match the week after, playing next week avoids a 3 week break for Blues.
The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.

Well done Ampthill wasn’t expecting that one. A disappointing result for Coventry.

Big Eddie or any other Caldy fan, can you explain/elaborate on what happened to Mike Hudson? The Rugby Paper mentions that he was unable to finish the match?

Please believe me, Ealing fans by and large are just as bored by this as anyone else. I want to see a second tier with proper funding so that we see competitive matches on a regular basis.

Well done Donny. 

Nottingham scored two very good chip through tries early doors catching Donny out. After which it was Donny who started to dominate possession and territory for the next 60 minutes. Our set piece was a lot stronger and in the conditions that was what was going to count. I think there will be a number of teams in the league who will struggle to contain the Nottingham backs where the packs are more evenly matched. 
Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny!

It was not all Ealing, Cambridge blew at least three clear chances to score tries.
We were never going to win, had we been a bit more precise, we might have got a bonus point.

Although it does not matter this year, next year we cannot afford to let those odd points slip away.

I would be careful what you wish for, I suspect it f there is a Prem 2, it will be a franchise league with the RFU taking bids for entry - with no guarantee Ealing's bid would be successful.

First serious LS attack and the LS loose head crashes into the referee who goes down like Bambi's mother, falling on to the ground Caldy's side of the ruck just as their forwards were furiously counter rucking......the match official took a bit of a shoeing being on the wrong side and all that .....took 30 seconds or so for the battered official to be able to blow his whistle and escape further punishment.

Mike Hudson too dazed and wobbly to continue even after a 15 minute break for running repairs

The incident brought a sleepy London Scottish who were 14 points down, out of their slumber and they scored two good tries within two minutes of the eventual restart.

A competitive game with Caldy the tactically smarter playing the conditions better than an industrious and skilful London Scottish side who in reality played too much rugby. Some thunderous hits by Caldy both in attack and defence and in the end the strength of their pack and the nous of their half backs were too much for a game London Scottish side.

I spoke to Mike Hudson after the game, even at that point he wasn't fully recovered having banged his head hard into the pitch..........The irony was he had just previously pinged the Scottish loose head at  a scrum.......there is no doubt that the LS prop had more than adequately shown his displeasure LOLLOL

To be fair Mike Hudson was having a good game before he was pummelled senseless.....
