The season ends how it started, with a game against Whitstable - as Old Gs bring down the curtain on their Kent 1 season with a trip to the Kent coast.

Sitting 4th in the league Old Gs know that only a win will do to give themselves a chance of finishing in 3rd, and even then that will be dependent on the result that Cranbrook get in their own fixture.

However all Old Gs can do is focus on their own game and produce a performance that will get the points in the bag to end what has to be considered as a successful season. Who knows how much better it might have been though but for the blip in February where the side were decimated by injury and lost 4 games on the bounce.

They know it will not be easy though against a tricky Whitstable side who will be out to cause an upset to end their own season in style.

The final squad of the season sees Brett Buckingham return up from to join Matt Johnson and Ross Coleman in the front row. Joe Martin is back on the treatment table so Andy Morris partners Frazer Barnes in the 2nd row. Jordan Lynch, Ash Bourne and Chris Daniels complete the forward pack.

Grant Roe and Mike Hodge continue at 9 and 10, with Matt Thompson and Will McArthur in the centres. Ryan Lockyer and Steve Thompson start on the wings with Chris Johnson at full back.

Doug Wilson and Martyn Langley are on the bench.

The game also represents the last in charge of Old Gs for Andy Miller so get down to Whitstable and give him a great send off.

Kick off is at 3pm.
