Cracking game at The Mennaye. Cov blasted out of the blocks and were totally dominant for the first 25 minutes, great offloading and lines of running that had The Pirates chasing shadows. Pirates managed a try in one of their very few visits to Cov's 22 but at 7-26 it looked like a walk in the park for Cov. Pirates snatched another try before half time and must have been relieved to be just 12 points down at the break. For the first five minutes of the second half Cov looked odds on to extend their lead, but dogged defence and a couple of handling errors cost them dear. Pirates seemed to flick a switch and suddenly started to put some phases together and stretch the Donny defence - then the game turned on it's head and Pirates were rampant. Once they got into the lead they weren't going to relinquish it and ran out deserved winners. What a game!

What has Donny got to do with the game? I know that they didn’t play today, but I doubt that they would have travelled 350 miles to watch the Pirates-Cov game

Sorry about that, I am very old and my braincells are very few!

Hartpury was in the South West Division when such things mattered, but so was Windsor.

Caldy is officially in the Northern Division.

But ask any two Englishmen where the North starts, and you will get three answers.

Yeah but we all know nothing in England outside the M25 matters (ducks and runs for cover).

I think you mean. The North Circular

I voted for Chudley… if Blues can’t win try of the week an ex Blue can Wink

Yes, no idea why a simple copy and paste didn't work when it usually does. Ah well.

Pirates taking tips from Plymouth A - 14 man maul

Indeed, do they still adopt that approach and is Graham Dawe still playing in his 60s probably now? Wink

So only the two te-arranged games this weekend.
Donny 1 - 5 Jersey … Donny have been playing well of late and The Reds will need to be at their very best to come away with the victory that they need. Ultimately, I think that they cancel each other out up front, but Jersey’s backs and defense has been very good this season, so this is where the game will be won or lost IMHO.
Ampthill 1 - 5 Coventry … This should be an absolute belter. The Mob are playing great rugby this season as are Cov. Home advantage will make this a close affair, but the visitors to all hit guarantee third spot.

Have a great Easter everyone

Tackle Low!!!!!
