Rather fittingly, it was staged on Boxing Day and Ampthill came away with a 23-10 victory, adding to the two they managed over the Blues in the Championship Cup. For Ampthill, Dave Ward and Billy Johnson will make their final appearances for the club from the bench, whilst Bedford captain Sean McCarthy plays his last game before retirement.

All will be hoping for a fitting farewell. Jersey Reds v Cornish Pirates Venue: Stade Santander International Kick-off: Saturday 29th May, 15:00 Old friends and rivals Jersey and Cornish Pirates do battle once again as they draw a line under the 2020/21 season. Owing to last week’s bye, the Pirates are the unlucky ones to miss out on playing in front of a home crowd, but at least they get to finish on a Jersey away day with supporters once again packing out the Stade Santander. The sides have been in copycat form of late, mirroring each other’s results in their last six matches. — Cornish Pirates (@CornishPirates1) May 28, 2021 Jersey’s slow start to the season means they find themselves in seventh, though they could still jump up a place depending on results.

— Coventry Rugby (@CoventryRugby) May 28, 2021 Joining them at the RAG will be Coventry, who will be looking to secure fifth place with fourth still a very outside possibility. Like most other teams this season, Cov were comfortably put away by Saracens last week, suffering the heaviest Championship loss of the term in a 73-0 defeat. There is no shame in losing to Sarries, but the margin and lack of response will seriously sting and they will be desperate to put things right and finish the campaign on a positive note. This is just the second season these two have spent together in the Championship, having battled it out in National One for several years.

Their support could provide a much-needed lift to Steve Hill’s side who have struggled on their return to the Championship having won just one game back in Round Three. They can also now not finish anywhere but bottom of the pile. It’s certainly not for the want of trying or lack of effort, but this season was always going to be a testing one. Richmond are yet to secure a bonus point of any sort and have scored just 116 points in nine games so perhaps this might be the perfect opportunity to cut loose and put on a show in front of a home support with the sun set to be beaming down.

The hosts will also be providing a live stream of the match on their club website, so you don’t miss any of the action! Doncaster Knights v Nottingham – 14:30 Second bottom Nottingham will make the trip up the M1 to face fourth placed Doncaster. Prior to defeat in Cornwall last time out, Doncaster had won five games in a row – which included beating table toppers Ealing Trailfinders and third placed Jersey Reds. Nottingham’s fixture with Jersey Reds last Friday night had to be postponed following four positive Covid-19 cases in the East Midlands outfit.
The Blues trail behind their neighbours in eighth which is as high as they can finish having won just two games this season. Bedford have also lost six of their last seven despite some promising performances so they too would appreciate a final day derby win. Last season was the first in which they’d squared off in the second tier, but Covid meant that only the Goldington Road leg took place in the league before the return game was scuppered.
No Saracens in Round 11 as curtain comes down on regular season in the ChampionshipRobin 'Bomber' Hislop will be one of many Championship names waving goodbye to the league on Saturday ©John Ashton So here we are. Just 12 weeks after it got underway, the league stage of this GK IPA Championship campaign draws to a close. A five-game Saturday has sadly been reduced to four after Saracens’ final match of the regular season was postponed because of Covid cases in the Hartpury camp. The RFU have said they “will meet ASAP to determine the next steps for the fixture”, but in terms of the overall picture, Sarries have already booked their place in the two-legged play-off against league leaders Ealing Trailfinders.
However, last time out – Scottish won their first game of the season by defeating Coventry 36-23. Prior to that, they were in wretched form, losing their first eight games. Scottish currently sit seven points adrift of second bottom Nottingham. Jersey Reds v Coventry – 15:00 Third placed Jersey Reds host seventh place Nottingham. Fresh from a week off due to Nottingham’s covid outbreak, the Channel islanders will be looking to pile the pressure back on Cornish Pirates and Ealing Trailfinders. Coventry narrowly edged past Bedford Blues by one-point last Saturday.
Pre-season provided plenty of spice as the sides traded away wins in a pair of fiery encounters, with the A’s coming out on top in the aggregate scoreline. Ampthill currently sit sixth in what is their second Championship campaign and if you’re an optimist, much would have to go their way to snatch fifth on the final day to match last year’s finish - but beating Bedford on their home patch would make that a moot point.
The conclusion of Cov’s first foray into the second division in 2018/19 coincided with Richmond’s relegation. In that season, they traded home victories with Richmond winning 22-5 at the RAG before Coventry returned the favour 20-16 at Butts Park. It is time for them to get reacquainted as over two years have passed since that most recent meeting in March 2019. Bedford Blues v Ampthill Venue: Goldington Road What a way to conclude a season with the Battle of Bedfordshire! Less than 10 miles separate the two clubs and although Ampthill have guaranteed a second successive season where they will finish above Bedford, bragging rights are up for grabs once again.
Coventry’s ill-discipline led to four players being sin binned during the 80 minutes. Director of Rugby Rowland Winter praised the “Cov Dog” character of his team in the slender victory. Richmond v Ealing Trailfinders – 15:00 Table toppers Ealing travel to Richmond for an all-West London affair. Ealing will look to extend their lead at the top with Cornish Pirates breathing down their neck. The Trailfinders first half blitz resulted in a 54-17 battering of Ampthill last time out. Eighth placed Richmond were comfortably defeated by Hartpury 38-20 last time out. Despite being winless in four, victory of the table toppers would be heck of a scalp for Richmond who will be wanting to kick start their season again.
