Old Gs travel to old friends Sittingbourne on Saturday as they look to bounce back from last weeks defeat to Beccs and get their season back on a winning note. With no fixture between the sides for 3 years due to both taking a trip into Kent 2 at seperate times, the game will be the renewal of a contest that generally produces an entertaining spectacle.

Sittingbourne have started the season with 2 defeats, a last minute loss to Vigo, followed by a loss away at Gillingham. No doubt they will be a tough test for Old Gs as they look to pick up a victory.

In regards to selection Brett Buckingham and Eric Roye are the props with the pirate Kevin Spain moving to hooker. Frazer Barnes and Andy Morris continue whispering sweet nothings to each other in the second row, with the back row of Andy Kidd, Phil Costley and Jack Nash.

Doug Wilson returns to the 9 shirt with Matt Holdstock back from injury at 10. Mike Hodge is joined in the centres by the returning Greg Humphreys, with the back 3 of Jamie Potter, james Hood and Chris Johnson.

Kick off is at 3pm and all support is welcome.

The following remain on the injured step: Noel Hartley, Lewis Moss, Paul Mitchell, Chris Daniels, Mat Coomber, Laurence Coleman, Pat Foreman, Steve Hurdle, Matt Thompson, with Chris Bassett unavailable.

However Joe Martin and Matt Wilson make welcome returns as they have a run out for the 2s and should come back into selection contention in future weeks.
