Bishop Stortford Mitres 15 . Ampthill Jets 42
Ahead of next week’s Firsts and 1881s fixtures the Jets today took on their counterparts from Bishops Stortford. For late October the weather was unseasonably mild and a great platform for running rugby. Missing key man Spavs from the pack the average age of the Jets plummeted. Rumour has it Spavs was told not to play this weekend by Eddie Jones as he is next in line for a call up for the troublesome loose head prop position!

Like Eddie Jones, coach Jonny favours a centre partnership containing a hard running inside centre in Paul Mason and a silky speedster on the outside in Eric Edwin. Not only that a newbie was selected at flanker in Tim Herbert maintaining the Jets keep it in the family policy after his brother ran out for us 3 years ago.

Selection is weird for the Jets this season, after years of begging, borrowing and stealing backs we suddenly have an abundance of options. After a Wednesday night ‘hit out’ session with the Academy the Jets were ready for this weekend’s match. What’s more all of our 18 squad members have paid their club subscription! So on paper a strong young squad-what could possibly go wrong? Well we had to play on grass, something we are not used to at Ampthill, we had no natural goalkeeper (one conversion out of 8 attempts!) and a young South African ref obviously more used to Southern Hemisphere rugby!

Ampthill though swiftly moved into a 15 nil lead courtesy of 3 tries from the forwards, Bill, Munkey and Tim. I had visions of one of Captain Beasley’s rants about the backs but then our back line came into their own, Kearns and Edwins both with a brace and the old boy Mason with a spectacular 60 metre run for the line closely followed by prop forward Munkey.

Slightly disappointing to concede 3 tries but a solid away win away at Stortford. Over to the Ones and 1881s to do likewise next week.

Great Jets debut from flanker Tim Herbert but Man of the Match goes to Eric, superb communication, committed in defence and at all times a real threat in attack.
