Kick-off 2.30pm.
Referee: Calum Howard.
Assistant Referees: Carl Bennett & Ian Pengelly.
The Reds will be looking to keep the pressure on the division’s top sides as they take on Old Elthamians on Saturday. The visitors currently hold 3rd position just ahead of the Reds who are in 5th.
The reverse encounter earlier in the season saw OE’s win by 43-25 in a game that was a lot closer than the score line suggests. A couple of recent narrow defeats against Taunton and Bishops Stortford have hit OE’s promotion hopes somewhat and they will be targeting this game as a must win fixture in their drive for National League Division One rugby. The visitors leading points scorer is Tom White and their leading try scorer Dominic Lespierre.
The Reds will be looking to bounce back after a narrow defeat in the Forest of Dean against a very good Cinderford side. The match could have gone either way with the Reds knocking on whilst being camped under the Cinderford posts in the last few minutes of the match. This was the Reds first defeat of 2017 thus ending an excellent seven game winning streak.
One thing is certain it will be a lot warmer in Redruth on Saturday than it was in Cinderford; by about 10 degrees probably!
