MATCH REPORT V NOTTINGHAM

Bedford Blues rounded off the Greene King IPA Championship season with a comprehensive 38-13 win over Nottingham at Goldington Road on Saturday afternoon.

Two penalty tries along with a brace from Matt Worley and one apiece for Ryan Hutler and Charlie Clare secured the win on a blustery afternoon which looked as if the wind would play a big impact on proceedings and neither team particularly keen to implement a kicking game.

MATCH REPORT V EALING TRAILFINDERS

Bedford were on the wrong end of a 54-21 score line on Saturday afternoon against a rampant Ealing Trailfinders.

While the Blues scored three good tries through Dean Adamson, James Lennon and Pat Tapley, they conceded eight in the process against the side who had seen their Premiership ambitions thwarted 24 hours earlier when London Irish secured the Championship title with a win at Richmond.

The home side started impressively and secured the try bonus point within half an hour. Rayn Smid crossed in the 12th minute before a Will Harries double made it 21-0 as Craig Willis converted all three.

MATCH PREVIEW V EALING TRAILFINDERS

Bedford Blues have named their squad for the penultimate Greene King IPA Championship fixture against Ealing Trailfinders on Saturday afternoon.

Trips to Vallis Way are notoriously tough, particularly with the home side still chasing promotion, but the Blues arrive off the back of a hard fought victory over Richmond and with the added bonus of a win over the hosts earlier in the season.

Tries from Chris Czekaj and Dean Adamson as well as 13 points from the boot of Will Hooley helped secure a 23-18 victory at Goldington Road back in January, but Bedford are expecting a huge challenge as Trailfinders look to chase down London Irish.

MATCH PREVIEW V RICHMOND

Bedford Blues have named their team to face Richmond at Goldington Road this Saturday in Round 20 of the Greene King IPA Championship.

Following a narrow defeat at Hartpury a fortnight ago, the Blues are looking to bounce back against the side from south west London but know they are in for a huge challenge with the visitors fighting for their league survival.

The two teams played out an enthralling contest earlier in the season in front of the Sky Sports cameras at the Richmond Athletic Ground. The game ended in an 11-27 victory for the Blues, but it was a lot closer than the scoreline suggested and much of the same is expected.
