Match Preview

Old Gs round off 2018 with a trip to Sheppey – as they look to continue their winning run in Kent 1. Half way through the league season Old Gs sit 3rd in the table and will look to secure another victory to keep the pressure on front runners Ashford and Gillingham. The team though will need to be at the top of their game to get the result required against a Sheppey side who pose a threat, despite the tough time they have had so far this season.

Selection is once again relatively consistent with Paul Mitchell, Andrew Kidd and Brett Buckingham in the front row. Frazer Barnes and Joe Martin again cuddle up to each other in the 2nd row. Ash Bourne, Chris Daniels and Sam Baker form the back row.

With James Hood and Mark Fenton-Smith both missing out through injury there are a few changes to the backline. Grant Roe and Matt Holdstock continue at 9 and 10. Mike Hodge adorns the 12 shirt, with Matt Thompson at outside centre. Martyn Langley returns on the wing, where he is joined in the back 3 by Ryan Lockyer and Chris Johnson.

The bench is formed of Ross Coleman, a return for Matt Johnson and Richard Parish.

Kick off at Sheppey is at 2pm – and as always all support is welcome!
