Caldy 0 - 5 Ealing - I would have loved to have been at this to see Sam Dickinson play again, as he was club captain a couple of years. I can't see Ealing losing this, but stranger things have happened. C Pirates 1 - 5 Doncaster - Neither team on the same form as last season, but I'm going for Donny with the addition of the excellent Jack Metcalf. L Scottish 1 - 5 Hartpury - Never Scottish, and Hartpury have been looking quite strong as of late.

Caldy 0-5 Ealing. My standard prediction for Ealing. Pirates 4-1 Doncaster. A right royal battle. L Scottish 0-4 Hartpury. Another tightish one but I expect Hartpury to prevail. ------------- Always trying to stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. |

Ealing Trailfinders team to face Caldy: Good squad for this game. I'm amazed at the depth in Ealing this year. Interesting to see Gibbo in the starting line up. The only place that I'm not keen on is Hooker, with Campher's line outs being pretty ugly all year. Nice to see Ollie Newman getting a debut. 15. Jonah Holmes 14. Luke Daniels 13. Reuben Bird-Tulloch 12. Pat Howard 11. Cian Kelleher 10. Craig Willis 9. Craig Hampson 1. James Gibbons 2. Jan Henning-Campher 3. Ross Kane 4. David O'Connor 5. Danny Cutmore 6. Rob Farrar 7. Simon Uzokwe 8. Rayn Smid (C) Replacements: 16. Cam Terry 17. Will Davis 18. George Davis 19. Bobby De Wee 20. Jack Digby 21. Jordan Burns 22. Steven Shingler 23. Ollie Newman (*Debut) |

Pirates 8 - 8 Knight HT Pirates had the wind, didnât use it much. Knights playing with ball in hand dominated territory and possession - Pirates defence in the 22 very good. Muddy pitch but a good showing by both teams. Knights just seem to make a few errors at the wrong times. Knights with the wind second half, guessing territory will be the aim. ------------- Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny! |

Not sure why Iâm being attacked here Ealing win all games with 5 points and havenât really been troubled⌠Caldy 2 wins this season before today and were 11th Ealing have millions to spend (defending champions), Caldy makinf a few additions to their ND1 squad. Ealing 24-7 leading I think this does make it the upset of the campaign. If you substituted the word Ealing and put Blues⌠I would feel it was an embarrassing loss. Like it was embarrassing the tonking we took in Jersey, as I expect better from Blues. What it has done is opened the door for Jersey with a home game against Ealing.

I think this result also show the disparity of having a plastic pitch . . . on a windy exposed pitch Ealing struggled, I would suggest that when they meet on plastic Ealing will win by 50. The same happened about 4 years ago when Richmond beat them at the Rag but where put to the sword at Ealing . . . that loss then cost Ealing promotion, Irish went back up, I wonder if history has repeated itself? Thats if the is promotion?!!! ------------- Run with it |

There is some validity in this Pappashanga, although not strictly true. The three Championship defeats so far have been at Jersey, can be described as a â stuffingâ for a side that included quite a few players new to Cov, a home defeat, no, another mauling to an excellent Ealing Trailfinders team on our 4G pitch. The defeat at Hartpury was on a plastic pitch moved from the grass due to the frosty conditions that day. Losing to a fired-up and improving â studentsâ side that day was an upset, despite Cov still scoring six tries. An inability to find touch with kicks and indiscipline was also a major factor. The AGP certainly does help as , I believe, it helps them to play at a faster pace. IMHO. Also, a previous poster hoped that it could be televised or streamed live on Saturday, Cov v Jersey Reds. I am not averse to this but hope, if it is, any announcement could be held back to later in the week as we want to get people attending and see it live. Cheers all.

I donât know for sure, but canât recall bottom beating top* at a meaningful stage of the season (possibly itâs happened in 2nd or 3rd round but wouldnât count that). Reds v Ealing shaping up as a great contest, but itâs a LONG way off & the idea that both sides can win out for rounds 12-20 inc, setting up a title/decider, seems fanciful to me. Both will face some tough tests before then & the Reds donât have to look far ahead for such a game: away in front of a pumped-up crowd on the artificial turf at the Butts next Sat, taking on a team whoâve won 8/11 & are only 1 place, 2 wins & 8 points behind the Reds - I dare say Cov might just be up for it. EDIT - * Caldy weren't bottom at 2.30pm, they were 11th. But still...

This is the whole point. This is why we love rugby and sport in general. It is so unpredictable and exciting. This weekend Caldy beat the 100% league leaders and in other news Stevenage won at Aston Villa in the FA Cup. The powers that be at the RFU have got to realise that there is serious talent and excitement outside of the PL. Exploit it properly (and I mean promote etc.) distribute fairly (by that we all understand that the PL should get the lionâs share, but not all of it) and the paying public will come back and watch this awesome sport. So sad that they canât see this! ------------- Tackle Low!!!!! |

I spoke with Ben Ward after the game. He was gracious and philosophical in defeat as were the Ealing supporters I talked to who had made the long journey to Paton Field. As the Ealing players left the field and walked up the steps one of the Ealing players acknowledged the impact of the crowd and gave the Caldy supporters due credit.
