Match Preview

Old Gs are back in action this Saturday as they welcome Kings College Hospital to Bronte View. Following a disappointing defeat last week away at Ashford Old Gs will look to bounce back in what looks another tough fixture, with Kings having a very promising season in Kent 1. In the reverse fixture earlier in the year Old Gs competed well before Kings pulled away to a comprehensive victory in the second half. Old Gs will look to learn from this experience and cut out errors that have thwarted their play in recent weeks as they look for a victory that will stand them in good stead as the season nears its close.

Old Gs have been decimated once again by injury and unavailibility, with Pat Foreman (broken thumb), Noel Hartley (shoulder), Andy Morris (ankle) and Mat Wilson (concussion) that latest additions to the treatment table and all unavailable from the side that took to the field against Ashford. Foreman and Morris will be ruled out for the rest of the season. Old Gs do have some brighter news though and welcome back Ben Wadsworth and Richard Parish to the squad after injury, with Kevin Spain also returning.

Brett Buckingham, Andy Kidd and Lewis Moss will look to make the hard yards in the front row, with the happy couple Frazer Barnes and Joe Martin finally having shook off the attentions of the jilted Andy Morris in the second row. Kevin Spain replaces the stricken Morris at 6, with Phil Costley and Jack Nash completing the back row.

Doug Wilson and Matt Holdstock are at 9 and 10. Ben Wadsworth replaces the injured Pat Foreman in the 12 shirt with Matt Thompson accompanying him in the centres. The back 3 remains unchanged with Ryan Lockyer and James Hood on the wings, joiend by full back Chris Johnson.

The replacements are Paul Mitchell, Steve Thomspon and the returning Richard Parish.

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

Andy Morris - ankle

Mat Coomber - all round broken, busted, his head, neck and back generally a mess
