Hartpury 5-0 Ampthill ... Hartpury played well in Jersey last weekend and i think that they might have just a bit too much for Ampthill this week. Should be a good game, the Mob do like to come and spoil a party. Richmond 0-5 Jersey ... If reports are to be believed, Mond are down to the bare bones with regards to playing staff and come up against a Jersey side who are playing well and with confidence. However, Richmond will not lie down without a fight and will take the game to Jersey. I predict a solid away win, but not without a fight. Doncaster 4-1 Coventry ... Game of the week. I can see this being nip and tuck for the entire game. The wetter the conditions, the better it will serve the Knights. Really could go either way. Caldy 5-1 London Scottish ... A must win for LS, but I fancy Caldy to come out and prove their Championship worth in this one. A game that will guarantee their survival in the division (not that it is in doubt). LS will probably unleash the cavalry, but i fancy a home win. Ealing 5-0 Cornish Pirates ... ET have gone 2 games without conceding a point, so this would be off the scale in terms of shocks should the Pirates prevail. Personally, I can't see it, but i also can't see the Ealing part of the scoreboard remaining at zero either. Nottingham 0-5 Bedford ... Bedford are on a roll and they will fancy this trip. Their sights are firmly set on gaining third spot and i cannot see that ambition being dented this week. ------------- Tackle Low!!!!! |

Predictions: Hartpury 5 v 1 Ampthill Richmond 0 v 5 Jersey Doncaster 1 v 5 Coventry  Caldy 4 v 1 London Scottish Ealing 5 v 1 Cornish Pirates Nottingham 1 v 5 Bedford I don’t like going against the Knights at home but our form has been poor recently and Coventry are having a very good season. A tough afternoon for the Donny boys I fear. However I’ll be there cheering the Knights on. It’s been a long time between drinks in terms of home league games - looking forward to it.

Hartpury 1-5 Ampthill. Two form sides but if the As can put together another performance like last week then I can see them pulling it off. Looking at everyone else’s predictions to date and I think I am on my own though. Richmond 0-5 Jersey. Richmond’s season is on a slider whilst Jersey keep on winning. I anticipate no change here. Doncaster 5-1 Coventry.Doncaster must come good soon, and Coventry aren’t the best travellers. Caldy 5-2 L Scottish. I have looked at Caldy’s remaining fixtures and I fear this may be their only chance of bagging a win. Ealing 5-1 Pirates. I expect Ealing to bag maximum points but I can also see Pirates scoring 4 tries. Nottingham 2-5 Bedford. Nottingham will always make a fist of every game they play in, but Bedford are on a healthy run. ------------- Always trying to stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. |

Hartpury 5 - 1 Ampthill - Hartpury better than Ampthill (most boring reasoning ever). Richmond 0 - 5 Jersey - I could hope for other results, but Richmond has not been on particularly good form the second half of the season. They can be a banana skin at home on their day though. Doncaster 1 - 5 Coventry - Donny really struggling recently. Caldy 4 - 1 London Scottish - Ravers better at home than Quins A. Ealing 5 - 1 Cornish Pirates - Ealing name basically the same squad that has ran rampant the last few weeks. Nottingham 1 - 5 Bedford - Bedford on form, but Nottingham fading fast.

Without taking anything away from Amptill's win I was shocked to see Hartpury implode like that. Sure we've lost many matches from winning positions but from 21-8 up, seemingly comfortable & dominating the scrum they completely lost it. Passing, discipline & breakdown suddenly turned south while Ampthill upped their game and took the win. And to cheer me up on the way home I listened to the end of the Gloucester game. 🙄

Of all Donny’s defeats this season that one has annoyed me the most. A Coventry team who’s scrum was put into the blender for 80 minutes came away with 5 points. There was a 5 minute spell near the end of the game where Cov gave away 6 scrum penalties on their own line. 6 successive penalties which wasted 5 minutes and yet only on the last one does a Cov player get binned. Farcical. I don’t want to sound disrespectful but a Donny team on form would have beaten that Coventry team by 20 points. We lost it due to our own errors and silly indiscipline. ------------- Donny Knights - best team in Yorkshire |

Posted By: Donnyknightfan
Date Posted: 26 Mar 2023 at 07:50
It’s a fair point. I have to say Cov were the best team I’ve seen this season at Donny in terms of ball in hand. They looked good every time they had the ball. Their offloading game was absolutely brilliant and they’ve got plenty of pace out wide. I can definitely see why they’ve racked up some big scores this season. Their number 8 was an absolute tank as well. ------------- Donny Knights - best team in Yorkshire |

It was a good game- we were let down by the late hit by Sam Hudson on the Coventry try scorer - we conceded 2 tries when he was rightly in the bin. Other than that our pack performance was strong, and overall a better showing. Not sure why there wasn’t a yellow card after our penalty try was awarded….

Certainly a vast improvement in the back seven over previous seasons. In fact I'd go so far as saying the best they've had at this level ever (with the '96-ish set being a near second, but then the standards were arguably quite a bit lower). I just hope they don't lose any more of them in the close season, other that what we know about already, and that the front row/tight five can be brought up to scratch, and in more depth. That way, they may be challenging right at the top. Possibly... ------------- Our Club |

Always enjoy the trip to Richmond, and did so yesterday in spite of a very one-sided match. which I've written about https://bit.ly/3KbG7DG" rel="nofollow - HERE Off the field, it was great to catch up with a number of old friends, altho' I was sorry not to see OG & M728, and know that CC & several other visiting supporters were torTomatoed by BA's inability to fulfil their flight schedule. It was our last chance to hear a pre-match address by the home club's legendary President 'Millsy' as he steps down this summer, and was at his ascerbic, rollicking best. I would happily have had KO put back 20 mins so he could have carried on. Weather was good and there was a decent crowd of 1,150 for the double-header, but shame it wasn't closer. Next month's derby against 'McQuins' at the RAG could be a real nipper... The result from the Wirral was well-received back at the RAG & I look forward to hearing Big Eddie's take on it - he's been quiet since the trip to Jersey. I note the match report in TRP, modestly marking Caldy having escaped relegation. Mathematically that may have been the case yesterday, but everyone outside of the NW knew they were well clear after the magnificent 20pt-haul in January. And a crowd of 1,895 very respectable too - exactly equalling the number from Jersey's visit in October IIRC.

I thought Ealing played extremely well yesterday, especially considering their injury list being a mile long. To put things in perspective, they have c.55 players on the books, but had to get a prop in from the Academy to fill out the bench. Pirates fans travelled well, and were a good laugh as alwasy. One thing that really confuses and bothers me is that the official attendance was only listed at just over 1000. There is absolutely no way that the attendance was that low: based on the capacity of the stands, the total attendance had to be closer to 1400 or 1500. That is nowhere near what Bedford gets, but reporting attendance 40 or 50% lower than actual makes no sense to me, especially when that is one of the sticks used to beat the club by its detractors. I suspect that for some reason, Ealing only counts full price adult entries, but given that even my six year old son generated £10 of revenue for the club through match day snacks, I don't see why they do that. Very puzzled indeed.

We haven't had The Rugby Paper, today It must have missed the train up to the NW  Big Eddie's match report might have been a bit understated due to him having consumed more than his fair share of alcohol at the pre-match lunch  The Ravers gave their all (as usual) McQuins had so much pace in the backs 'The Bank' was very pleased when Louis Lynah was replaced off the bench , after around 60 mins I have to wonder whether the RFU will decide on how many (if any) clubs are going to be relegated, before the final round of matches  ------------- Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana |

| It very much was a good game. Notts were camped on the Bedford line right to the last second. |

[QUOTE=seagoon]We haven't had The Rugby Paper, today It must have missed the train up to the NW Big Eddie's match report might have been a bit understated due to him having consumed more than his fair share of alcohol at the pre-match lunch The Ravers gave their all (as usual) McQuins had so much pace in the backs 'The Bank' was very pleased when Louis Lynah was replaced off the bench , after around 60 mins And what a fine lunch it was, The finest sparkling wines and champers ,full bodied reds and some very nice Single malt to finish.Food prepared by his much younger wife would stack up against any fine eatery in the country.,topped off by the exellent company of members of The Executive Travel Club.Must of lost your invite in the post ------------- is it stours year yet |

We were watching the same match. I’m pretty certain that Bedford had very very few forays into the Nottingham half, definitely in the first half although hands up yes Bedford punished us a bit for it in the second half. |

Doesn't look like it. I guess it'll have to wait until next Sunday's Rugby Paper so I can update the league average figure on the Cov unoffy. I'm betting the excellent Caldy near-1900 number will be the best this week though. ------------- Our Club |

Seagoon, I think you have confused two distinct personnas. My name is Eddie and the chap who writes the tosh in The Rugby Paper is called John. Couldn't be clearer. I did talk to John's wife who informed me that she went into his office at about 7.30 pm on Saturday evening and saw him slumped over his laptop for all purposes dead to the world. It must have been a frightning sight apparently made worse by the significant number of peanuts coated in a disgusting frothing and bubbling residue which caked most of his unkempt stubble. The good lady told me she thought it unlikely that any sensible report on the game could have been written by the Huckleberryly Pear who for most of the afternoon had been all over the Paton Field Stadium like a mad woman's p**s. Having now read the report in The Rugby Paper I thought the chap must have held it together slighly better than he had any right to. ------------- ''The future isn't what it used to be'' |
