Match Preview

This week Mens Own take on old Rivals Bedford Queens .

After what was a positive performance last week against a strong Leicester vipers, Mens Own will be looking to go the next step andsecure a much needed W against the Bedford Side.

Previous history shows the match ups between the two sides are always close and more often than its usually a grassroots spectacle of rugby.

In the forwards, Stuart Knight returning to uni, means powerhouse forward Ian Evans comes into the second row. And an unfortunate and nasty looking injury to influencial player Jordan Blaikie see's him drop out, with the impressive Jack Herring stepping up from the colts to fill Jordans shirt. The only other change in the forwards is Noah Kennedy gets the nod to start over Harry Hill.

The backline remains unchanged from last week.

The bench is made up of, Matt Wilmot, Harry Hill and Toby Sandham.
