The 1s are back in action this Saturday as they travel to HSBC. Always a tough away day to get a result from, Old Gs will will need to rediscover top form after back to back League defeats for the first time this season against Southwark and Ashford. HSBC will be in no mood to roll over though, and with a powerful set of forwards and strong running backs will look to cause Old Gs problems throughout the afternoon.
In regards to selection Old Gs are still decimated through injury and unavailability. To credit they still put out a strong side, highlighting the development of the playing squad and structure throughout the club. Brett Buckingham, Matt Johnson and Ross Coleman start up front. Joe Martin returns to accompany Frazer Barnes in the 2nd row, with Andrew Kidd, Ollie Goodchild and Andy Morris in the back row. Doug Wilson is at 9, with Mike Hodge at 10. Matt Thompson and a Grant Roe are in the centres with the back 3 of James Hood, Steve Thompson and Chris Johnson.
Steve Jarrett and Jordan Lynch will look to make an impact from the bench.
Kick off is at 3pm and all support is welcome away at HSBC.
