1stXV 17 Bedford 14, Sat Dec 14, 2019, Championship Cup
14th December 2019

Ampthill welcomed visitors Bedford Blues for their first ever competitive game against the hosts to the Grange Jaguar-Land Rover Bowl on a dry, bright afternoon with a moderate breeze. The pitch, bathed in wall to wall sunshine after the heavy overnight rain cleared around mid-day, looked a picture while underfoot conditions were excellent. As anticipated, the official attendance was the highest of the season, the 2151 spectators enjoying expanded facilities including extra bars and Amps first-ever grandstand!

Blues began very well, taking the game to A’s up front testing the home side’s scramble defence. The pressure continued to build leading to visiting scrum half James Lennon crossing on 5 minutes for the opening score, fly half William Hooley’s conversion bending in the wind before bisecting the posts.

The hosts responded, exerting their own pressure inside the visitors 22. Ampthill scrum half Kevin Barrett broke blind from a scrum deep inside Bedford’s half on 14 minutes timing his pass to right wing Spencer Sutherland, who was making his season debut for the 1stXV after recovering from injury. He showed his speed to dive over by the corner flag, fly half & captain Louis Grimoldby’s conversion attempt also showing a ‘banana’ shape, this time the wind took the kick wide.

With 2 tries inside the first quarter and both sides looking dangerous one might have expected the pundits forecast of a cricket score to follow but it took until the 30th minute before the next important action occurred when the same incident saw A’s lock Shay Kerry and Bedford’s No. 8 Daniel Temm awarded yellow cards.

Just 2 minutes later a speculative kick ahead bounced kindly for visiting wing Ryan Hutler who was tackled just short of the line. Saint Sutherland turned sinner as he was adjudged to have prevented the ball’s release and joined his team mate Kerry in the bin.

With 13 now playing 14 Blues turned the screw forcing a series of phases in the home side’s red zone which led to the referee running under the posts to signal a penalty try on 36 minutes after he lost patience having decided that the hosts had infringed once too often.

Ampthill’s kick off was secured by the visitors but at the ensuing ruck they were penalised allowing Grimoldby to kick a fine penalty in the 39th minute to leave the score 10-14 at oranges.

For the second week in a row Amps lineout was not functioning while their discipline was hurting with doubling up on offences causing much lost territory.

Shortly into the second half Kerry & Temm returned to the field followed by Sutherland, sadly the quality of the game did not improve as both sides seemed to consider ball retention optional while A’s continued to earn the wrath of the officials.

Bedford had several opportunities to take advantage of lineouts inside the home 22 but a combination of improved hosts maul defence and wrong option taking saw those chances go begging.

The 68th minute gave a chance for Bedford to extend their lead as Ampthill yet again infringed at a breakdown but Hooley’s kick almost turned at 90 degrees after it left the tee.

As both sides emptied their bench Amps replacements sparked a revival with scrum half Fukofuka breaking down the blindside leading to a series of phases deep in Blues 22 where lock Billy Johnson fought his way across the line in the 78th minute, Grimoldby adding the conversion to leave A’s leading by 3 points.

There was time for the restart but the kick sailed into touch and the referee blew for no side leaving the Amps the winner of the first competitive game between the clubs this century.

In truth this was not a great game of rugby, there were far too many errors, infringements and interruptions in play. A’s won a game at the death that could and perhaps should have seen another result.

Bedford Coach Mike Rayer commented “We got what we deserved! We needed to get a couple of scores in front but we failed to take our opportunities. We’ll go again when Ampthill visit in the league on Boxing Day.”

Ampthill Head Coach Paul Turner commented “No one would have believed it If anyone had said 10 years ago that Ampthill would be hosting Bedford in a competitive game at Dillingham Park. Our lineout was poor and our discipline worse but this result defines our attitude. Our defence in the second half gave us a chance and our bench won the game in the last 5 minutes. Now we must focus on our Boxing Day league fixture.” … See MoreSee Less

When the Championship fixtures were announced in July, the first one the Mob supporters looked for was the Bedford Bluesat home. We now face them twice in 12 days, starting with the final round of the Championship Cup tomorrow before we head to Goldington Road in the Greene King IPA Championship Rugby on Boxing Day.

Excitement for this game at Dillingham Park has been building during the past few weeks, and we expect our biggest crowd of the year if not ever tomorrow. In contrast, our smallest crowd of the season witnessed our best performance at Level 2 last week in a narrow defeat to Ealing Trailfinders. Momentum is key in sport and the boys will look to build on that performance tomorrow.

The A’s line-up sees a few changes from last week’s side with German international, Jörn Schroder making his debut at loosehead, Shay Kerry returns to partner Carl Burgess in the second row and Jac Arthur makes his debut for the A’s at 6. In the backs Kevin Barrett takes the 9 jersey, captain Louis Grimoldby shifts to fly-half and Spencer Sutherland replaces Josh Gillespie on the wing.

As always the Mob crowd will be the sixteenth man and we hope everyone will join us at the post-match party. Come on you A’s!!

Paul Turner – Head Coach of Ampthill Rugby “The first visit by Bedford Blues to Dillingham Park, for the first competitive fixture between our clubs at home, is a truly historic day for all the members and supporters of Ampthill RUFC and I am sure we will see a truly super game of rugby befitting the occasion.

We make a number of changes to the side that ran Ealing Trailfinders so close last weekend and we look forward to seeing how the team acquit themselves in what I’m sure will be a red hot local derby.”
