Back to Saturday afternoon rugby at Goldington Road and the prospect of another epic game with sixth placed Donnie Knights the visitors.
Such is the competiveness outside the top two there are just points separating third placed Blues from our visitors - so there's lots to play for.
It's now three weeks since we played and that means we can field the side which was selected for the visit to Nottingham last week - until the latest blast from Siberia.
No such problems forecast this week so we will see Rich Lane at fullback and Huw Worthington at openside. Harry Sheppard had his comeback delayed by a week and will be on the bench
Blues: 15. Rich Lane 14. Howard Packman 13. Rory Hutchinson 12. Michael Le Bourgeois (capt) 11. Dean Adamson 10. Will Hooley 9. Lee Dickson
1. Sean McCarthy 2. Tom Lindsay 3. Ben Cooper 4. Jordan Onojaife 5. Will Carrick-Smith 6. Alex Rae 7. Huw Worthington 8. Jarad Williams
Reps: Jacob Fields, Dave Spelman, Camilo Parilli-Ocampo, Ed Taylor, Justin Blanchet, Jordan Burns, Harry Sheppard

This is taken from the Blues match report "However, Bedford took control of the final minutes and set up camp in the Knights’ half before a rather strange ending to the game. A penalty came following a lineout and Bedford asked if time was up. Unbeknown to the ref and players, the kicking tee was on as Sheppard sent the ball to touch. With the whistle ringing out and players shaking hands, the Fourth Official informed the ref who then had to rescind his pea blowing for the kick to be taken. Sheppard stepped up, converted, and Donny left with just the single bonus point rather than two."
None of our last 4 fixtures are straightforward, but on paper 3rd place is really ours to lose now.
