I haven’t been in about 10 years, but have in my head they may have got a 4G pitch since then? No such thing as a 4G, it's 3G Nah, we’ve had the transmitter upgrade 😉

We have a hybrid pitch of sorts, a mesh beneath the grass that prevents tearing up. But as K&D said we have very effective frost sheets.

With 5 players promoted from the 2nd team Caldy did well to grab a 4 try bonus point at Vallis Way against a terrifically strong Ealing. High scoring game but not a cricket score

FT Are you not allowed to use a reverse substitution (eg bring back on one of your starting XV) in the case of an injury after the bench has been emptied, to prevent being a man down for the remainder? No. Only if blood or HIA I believe.

I don't think so  And of course you are right. My memory is both short and old. But I do think it is Ampthill’s first victory up there.

Ampthill were excellent in using the ball quickly in broken play. Donny were awful in ball retention, gifting the As opportunities they gladly took. Heaven knows how big the penalty count was against the As and even then they deservedly won!
