It's a rearranged home league fixture for the Okes this week ,as the previously postponed Keynsham match has replaced the originally scheduled Ivybridge Devon Cup tie.

Okes will look for revenge after losing narrowly in the away fixture, paying the price for too many missed kicks, including a last gasp effort that would have secured victory. Keynsham came up last year from WC North and are holding their own nicely in mid table. The sides are connected through previous encounters in WCW, and also through ex player Iain Thomas who was a fine forward for both side's first fifteens.

Okes will want to build on last week's first win in four matches which was a competent defeat of travelling Matson. Meanwhile Keynsham were suffering defeat on the road at another Devon destination-Bideford. Hopefully this week's pitch will provide a decent enough surface for an open , keenly fought contest.

Please be aware that the kick off this week will be slightly earlier than usual at 2.15 pm so everyone can be in the clubhouse in time to watch the 6 Nations match at 4.45pm.

Team news will be posted here later, please make the effort to come along again this week and get fully behind the lads before retiring to the bar for the England game!

"Come On you Okes!"...
