The Phantoms have announced their squad for the visit to Basildon this weekend, a fixture which will kick off the new era for Phantoms RFC. The twenty players selected for the game covers all thirteen years of Phantoms Rugby with Chris Tilson (right) and Martin "Chariots" Watson of the first ever Phantoms side in 2000 being involved alongside other returning members such as Bruno Garcia, Stuart Bright, Augustinas Petronis and Tristan Horgan.
