The 1st team return to action following the festive period looking to turn the corner in the league campaign. They face a HSBC side who have had a prosperous season so far. Well known for their big forwards and hard running back line they will provide a stern test for the Old Boys in the first fixture of the New Year. In terms of selction the front 5 remains intact in the form of JJ Keevey, Andy Kidd, Andy Connell, skipper Frazer Barnes and Andy Morris. Chris Daniels returns in the back row to join Ollie Goodchild and Jack Nash. Chris Bassett and Matt Holdstock make up the half back pairing. Veteran Michael Hodge is joined by Greg Humphreys in the centres with a lively back 3 of Matt Wilson, Mark Bishop and Richard Parish. The bench consists of livewire Tristan Watson, front row cover in the form of Sam Sparks, with Steve Thompson covering the backline.
Kick off is at 2pm and all support is welcome
