Tomorrow’s first-time visitors to Dillingham Park are last season’s Championship Cup winners, Ealing Trailfinders.
Ealing are looking to retain the trophy this season, and are certainly in fine form – they come into this game with a record of Played 4, Won 4 in the Championship Cup and currently sit second in the Greene King IPA Championship. News of further reinforcements to their squad this week underpins their ambitions.
By contrast, Ampthill had a bad day at Coventry last Saturday and the starting fifteen will be looking to rectify last weeks performance. We will certainly need the crowd in the Grange Jaguar-Land Rover Bowl to be our 16th man!
Kick-Off is 1.45. Live score updates on Twitter @AmpthillRUFC
Advance tickets are available until midnight at https://www.ampthillrufc.com/match-tickets
Paul Turner – Head Coach of Ampthill Rugby “Ealing as the current Championship Cup holders represent a massive challenge for a club of our size, and we are honoured to host such an ambitious club visiting Dillingham Park this Saturday.
After a poor day at the office last Saturday, we have given most of the squad the opportunity to put right a number of wrongs from last week’s performance and we hope they take the opportunity afforded to them to make a substantial improvement on last week’s performance.”
