Match Preview

Old Gs final fixture of 2017 sees them travel to league leaders Beccehamian. Beccs remain unbeaten after 11 league fixtures and Old Gs know that they will need to front up in all elements of their game in order to produce a performance worthy of a positive result.

Once again injuries strike Old Gs with 12 of the 1st XV squad unavailable - with Andy Morris and Joe Martin the latest to be struck down by the injury curse.

Therefore the fixture sees 1st XV debuts for Ryan Donoghue at hooker and Ben Wadsworth in the centre. Both will be looking to impress in their first appearance in the blue and blue of Old Gs.

Donoghue joins Brett Buckingham and Paul Mitchell in the front row. With Andy Morris out injured, Jack Nash steps into the 2nd row to partner Frazer Barnes. A pacy, mobile back row is formed of Andy Kidd, Phil Costley and Kevin Spain.

Doug Wilson and Matt Holdstock wear 9 and 10 once again, with Mark Fenton-Smith returning to join debutant Wadsworth in the centres. The back 3 is Ryan Lockyer, James Hood and full back Chris Johnson.

JJ Keevey, Dave Boyer and Steve Thompson are on the replacements bench.
