TEAM NEWS: 1st XV to play Civil Service
Head Coach Baz names his squad to play Civil Service away this Saturday 3rd November, KO 2.30pm.
Hi all,
This weeks again sees a couple of changes to the side because of injuries and unavailabilities.
Last week was a good win against Bedford Athletic and followed a good performance against Tring, despite the result.
Tim Matthews keeps the starting spot at Loosehead Prop and his scrummaging is getting better each week. Luke Ellis and Geoff Hughes complete the front row, with Josh Hewitt on the bench after his week off. Sam Bucknall is ruled out due to injury.
James Keens and Will Brady complete the boiler room. Dave Archer comes in for the injured Elston at blindside after having a week off due to old bones! Josh Corcoran is at 7, with James Kinsley staying at 8 after his man of the match performance last week. Torran MacDougall is only just back from his brother’s wedding in Australia, so we have ruled him out for this week.
Sargent and Lloyd stay as the half backs, with Lemon and Stockwell on the wings. Allan and Mitchell are not available this week. Streets and Smart are in the centres with Harry Barker at full back, who seems to be getting better each week.
Chris Joannou and Tom Meller join Hewitt on the bench, with Kinsley giving us options with the ability to cover wing and centre.
Cheers,
Baz
