Round 19 saw all 12 teams in action as we enter a bye-week over the Easter period, with the exception of two re-arranged fixtures [Doncaster Knights vs Jersey Reds and Ampthill vs Coventry].
Coventry kicked off the action on Friday evening with a bonus-point win against Hartpury, including a brace from the March Championship Player of the Month, Will Chudley. Then on Saturday, Ampthill and Richmond went head to head in front of the cameras, with The Mob pulling away in the final quarter to seal a fourth-straight win, while Bedford Blues and Ealing Trailfinders played out an 11-try thriller at Goldington Road, settled in the closing stages by leading try scorer Carlo Tizzano. London Scottish pushed Doncaster Knights all the way at The R.A.G. but came unstuck in the last half hour, and Jersey Reds produced another emphatic display at The Stade Santander, this time against Nottingham. Sunday's only clash saw Caldy put in a resolute performance against Cornish Pirates, but it wasn't enough to stop the hosts from returning to winning ways following a tough afternoon in West London last weekend.
Doncaster Knights and Cornish Pirates are the only two climbers after Round 19. Here's how the current table looks.
