Big Game Preview
After back-to-back impressive performances, Mike Rayer’s men will be looking to complete a hat-trick of successive victories at Goldington Road.
Standing in their way are the formidable foe of Coventry, who have started to have Bedford’s number in recent years. Blues are still chasing a first league victory over Coventry since pre-Covid; with the added spice of familiar faces on both sides, including Alex Rae, Ryan Hutler, Lucas Titherington, Louis James among others.
With both teams in the hunt for top spot, expect the temperature to rise in Bedford on Friday night with more than just bragging rights at stake.
