Bedford bring in Clements-Hill after Tapley suffers injury

Bedford Blues have been forced into a change to their announced team for tomorrow's B&I Cup encounter against Ealing Trailfinders on Saturday as Pat Tapley has been ruled out due to injury.

Elliot Clements-Hill moves into the starting line-up while Josh Buggea comes in on the bench for the clash at Goldington Road.

There are also places on the bench for Charley Robinson, Hayden Thompson-Stringer and Tom James.
