MATCH FOCUS | Blues Women on home soil for season finale
Bedford Blues Women will look to sign off their season in style this Saturday as they prepare to lift the NC2 Midlands (South) Division trophy following their final fixture against Stockwood Park at Goldington Road (KO 2pm).

Big Game Preview
Blues Women head into the game knowing they have a rare chance of league immortality and just need to overcome Stockwood on home soil to achieve such a momentous feat. The team set themselves the challenge of replicating Peterborough from 12 months ago and they are only 80 minutes away from achieving it.
They will take confidence from recent outings, which included a seven try showing at Cambridge last weekend, and they secured a 22-5 victory in this reverse fixture with a confident display away from home in December.
Stockwood will pose a strong challenge, however, with the Luton based side still having four fixtures to play this season and realistic Top Four ambitions. They will also want to spoil the Goldington Road party by returning to winning ways.
Team News will be announced on Friday morning.
Her Game Too Affiliated Fixture
Saturday’s game will be first affiliated ‘Her Game Too’ fixture since both senior sides agreed a partnership agreement with the charity earlier this month, with the overall aim of making sport something that everyone can enjoy, regardless of gender.
