The January gradings are out – details may be found here but the Bedford players may be summarised as below. Very little movemnet really (aside from the lengthening of the list of players associated with Bedford!) but the promising juniors Ben Cox and Peter Gill have made some progress.

I asked Adrian the question
“Should I be using the new grades when deciding upon the board order for the Bedford D team?”
and got the answer
“No. We decided when the 6 monthly grades started that we would only use the July list. The one exception to that is if a player has no grade in the July list when we use the grade on the January list.”
Just in case anyone else was wondering.
