Match Preview

Kiwi's loss to the Pirates is a blow.

Camborne have been forced to make changes to their back five with Jordon Rose out injured and Dave Roberts unavailable, they have now been hit with the loss of Kieran Westlake to the Corniah Pirates who's on loan for a month.
It's a great opportunity for young Kiwi but with the squad already without County lock forwards Damien Cook, Tony Whittle and Ben Kemp the loan move has certainly caused selectors a problem this week.

On a positive note there are returns in the pack for Ashley Riches, who once again will cover at lock and Phil Hinchley who's back at flanker. Talented young hooker Jordon Nicholls shows his versatility by coming into the back row and former England u20's prop Malcolm Hearn moves into the second row.
County Prop Andrius Zacharovas comes off the bench to replace Hearn and Cornwall Development hooker Tommy Lee Southworth also moves up from replacement with Sam Bartle moving in the opposite direction.

In the backs there's a return for leading points scorer David Mankee at fly half with Jake Champion moving to full back. This see's Ben Tylor Guy revert to his usual role on the wing in place of Declan Matthews who's unavailable.

Lydney News;

Camborne may have a few selection headaches but our hosts certainly have more to contend with.
Lydney sit joint bottom of the table with just one victory this season and have lost two coaches since the start of the campaign!

One departure and five arrivals for the 'Severnsiders'

"Lydney have parted company with Jason Forster after just 30 days with the Severnsiders failing to win a game under him.
Forster, who played for Newport and the Dragons, replaced Rhys Oakley on October 18 but has now stepped aside himself.
The Severnsiders will have four debuts in the squad with, Joe McClean, David O’Hagan, James Walter and Phil Cowburn all named in the starting 18.
Chris Holder and Brett Scriven will take charge of the South West Premier side for the foreseeable future until a replacement coach is found".

"Lydney have benefitted from the demise of the Gloucestershire All Golds with four players signing from the disbanded rugby league team.
Gloucestershire All Golds have chosen to merge with Oxford Rugby League to form a team in Bristol.
Second row Joe McClean, prop Morgan Evans join the club along with full-backs James Walter and Phil Cowburn have joined the club".

"Dave Emery, team manager of Lydney, said: “There players started their careers playing rugby union before going to rugby league. These players add to our depth and will help to put pressure on others in the squad.”

“They wanted to get back playing and with Brett Scriven we had a link between Lydney and the All Golds.
