Chinnor 2-5 Nottingham - could go the other way but Nottingham are a dangerous team in good weather Hartpury 5-1 Ampthill - Hartpury will have enough for Ampthill as they keep the pressure on for 2nd Bedford Blues 5-1 London Scottish - Blues in theory have completed the hardest games, but traditionally have slipped up against the lower teams. I don’t see this happening here, but Scottish to get 4 tries Caldy 0-5 Doncaster Knights - Knights to continue their recent good form Cambridge 0-5 Ealing Trailfinders - Ealing to get back to winning ways with a demolition of Cambridge Coventry 2-5 Cornish Pirates - could go either way but I fancy Pirates to edge this one |

A fantastic second half performance from Chinnor took them to victory over Nottingham last night, helped by three tries when Nottingham were down to 14 players. Attached is a full report for anyone interested https://fatbearssportingdiaries.blogspot.com/2025/05/chinnor-41-22-nottingham-att-1600-est.html" rel="nofollow - https://fatbearssportingdiaries.blogspot.com/2025/05/chinnor-41-22-nottingham-att-1600-est.html

We had a mare last night. Just seemed to fall apart in the second half to be honest. But after 15 years of supporting Nottingham I’m used to it…! I think all our injury issues and having to rely heavily on loan players is making our team a bit disjointed too- in some positions we don’t have any fit players of our own and there were a couple on the bench well out of position, who I might add did great. That said I wasn’t impressed with some of the disparaging remarks from some Chinnor fans in front of me. I know that in the nature of sport there is always going to be some slating of the other team- and I’m not objecting to that at all- but there’s slating and there’s slating and that’s what I’m objecting to. And as a lone female I didn’t appreciate the dirty looks from grown men because I was cheering for my team either, first time I’ve been there and probably going to be the last to be honest. |

| Blues blew a couple of tries and Scottish had a couple fortunate ones, but were value for the bonus point. Blues keep marching on and with 4 games against those in the bottom 5 they should be looking to take 2nd place. |

Being behind the posts in the first half I can verify that Blues also had a very fortunate try as Will Maisey was at least a foot short for his try! |

Pirates do the double again at Coventry; didn’t expect that to be honest but a great result for us. Lots of compliments from away supporters about the welcome at Coventry. Altogether good news.
