WEEKEND PREVIEW 11/02/2012
EVERYONE NEEDS TO DO THE SUN DANCE TO ENABLE US TO PLAY THIS WEEKEND!!
This weekend see's two competitive Thornton teams play in the last 16 of their respective cup competitions. The 1st team face a tough trip to the delightful De La Salle and the 2nds entertain Macclesfield 4ths at home. To ensure both games go ahead, we would like ALL PLAYERS to chant to the sun god Raa and pray for defrosting of pitches.....
The 1st team are missing several key players this weekend including influential captain Chris Brannigan who is watching DVD's in south shore. Sonny Flood is also missing from 1st team action as he has to work. He is available for the 2nd team though.
Dougie Riley is to start in the front row alongside James Gorrie and Ben Calvert, with Joe Connell partnering Tom Cockcroft in the 2nd row. In the back row, Barry Tucker starts at 8 with Michael Docherty moving to openside and Grant Dillon returning to blind side.
Chris Clapp is awarded the number 9 shirt with Adam Lester moving to the wing to cover Sonny Flood. Roshon Vercher starts at inside centre and partners Dan Orwin who moves back to outside. Tom Lancashire returns to full back with David Beardsall captaining the team from the wing.
Coach Paul Moran states 'this will be a tough test for Thornton this week, a challenge the players are more than up for. I'm sure if we play our style of rugby and show the same level of committment in defense, it will be a good day at the office.
In the 2nd team, Andy Dahl returns to play hooker alongside Matt Williams and Pete Farrington. Harry Dawson continues the good form in the second row with Swampy. Pete Smythe starts in the back row with Lee Norris and Pete Rae. Dan Powell returns at scrum half with Dave Harrison starting at 10. Leon Mason gets his first start of the season at inside centre since moving from Blackpool & Fleetwood with Dave Snelson looking to continue the good form at outside centre.
Sonny Flood starts on the wing with Tom Bailey and Les Marshall controls the game at fullback!
