As explained in the initial article - just a fudge reissue to keep things online.
Nothing new here except for yesterday's stats.
Worth mentioning that the 100 tries line has now been crossed (by some margin!) for both competitions, and the tries per game stat continues to rise, at 4.81 in the league, and 4.86 overall.
Quite a satisfying record thus far - especially coupled with the fact that 3rd place in the league has been held continuously since the end of October.

Updated to include Doncaster (A).
League average attendance to be updated following this afternoon's game at Lady Bay.
Tries average per game now 4.94 in the Championship, 5.13 overall.

Can't find the attendance figure for Nottm vs Bedford as yet, so the average may not be updated until next Sunday.
What we do know, though, is that Nottingham prevailed 5-2, leaving Cov slightly more comfortable in third with a four-point lead, and that game in hand still.

Now updated to reflect the average Championship attendance for the season so far. Slightly down, but helped somewhat by an excellent attendance, 1895, at Caldy, putting the Doncaster figure of 865 in the shade.

Updated, but not reflecting the Penzance attendance yesterday.
Bedford's second straight defeat puts Cov tantalizingly close to securing third in the Championship, with Saturday's game at Ampthill, should Cov win with four tries, meaning that only two points at Richmond, the following weekend, would be required to ensure it (on the wins/draws rule).
This would be Cov's highest league position since pipping Bedford to third in 1997 when both clubs were defeated in playoffs by first division opposition.
Cov's maximum attainable points are now 89, while Bedford can get to 76.
Bedford need 6 points to ensure that nobody can catch them. Their next game is the tricky visit by Jersey

Updated to reflect Ampthill (a).
Just three more tries required to bring up the league century.
Two points required to ensure third place, which should be achievable this weekend at Richmond, but not wishing to jinx things - it's not a certainty.
Neither is a Jersey defeat of Bedford, but should that happen, third place is nailed on for Cov anyway.
Tries per game in the Championship now stands at 5.11

Updated to include Richmond away.

Significant items:
- 100 league tries now scored.
- Third place confirmed. Highest since 1996/97.
- A penalty shot taken and scored! The first since 28/1/23.

Quite a season.

Updated to include Nottingham (h).
- Final average attendance for the season a squeak under 2500, which is pretty remarkable considering the overall league average, which was, admittedly boosted by some better attendances than usual elsewhere.
- Four players now on nine tries apiece.

I've now added a link to this on the main menu.
Eventually I'll 'unsticky' the thread on the Forum so it will drift downwards, but the main menu link will remain should anyone wish to refer back in future.
