Up next, Ealing Trailfinders

Everything looks set fair for tomorrow, when Ealing Trailfinders return to the BPA.

After what sounded like a bit of pasting at Jersey, but really wasn't according to all reports, it's time to see the new-look Coventry side take on Ealing tomorrow.

Normally we'd be looking to spot a few new players at this point in time, but fundamentally this is almost a whole new team.  Conditions look perfect for the expansive, fast game that Rowland Winter clearly favours, and for the grizzled old traditionalists there will be a chance to see the pack that gave Jersey such a bruising time.

I've got to admit, I'm quite excited by the prospect.  There's already been some discussion about whether there will be team sheets for tomorrow's game, to help us recognise the players.  There will be, but I've got a feeling that by the end of the season we'll certainly know their names!

The game kicks off at 3:00pm tomorrow (August 13th) at the Butts, tickets cost £10, with anyone 16 or under getting in free.  So bring the kids, it's going to be a great day out!

For more information on the shiny new squad for the game, please read John Wilkinson's more complete piece on the official site.

For a more elegant and better-informed analysis around the context of the game (edit: than mine, rather than John's!), I commend to you the ever-excellent blog by Tim.  For anyone who can't make it Tim also usually keeps a reliable stream of information and latest scores on his twitter feed, @CowshedTim. 

(My twitter feed is just arrant rubbish compressed into 140 characters by comparison, but you're always welcome to join in here should you wish, @CovRFC1874.)

I know it's only pre-season, and it's the game-time for the team rather than the result that really matters, but I fancy us for it tomorrow. I really do.
