Match Preview

The kind month of January continues to give for the Hurricanes, as they host another home fixture at the Fairway, this time out welcoming Alresford RFC. This fixture was kindly reversed earlier in the season, and last time out the hosts that day took all of the points in a very narrow 27-24 victory.

This time around, Sandown & Shanklin will look to repay the favour and claim all the points and continue their great start to 2018. Following the 18-17 victory over Bognor last weekend, spirits are high in camp and everyone will be keen to keep the momentum going, ahead of the next few fixtures coming up!

After missing last weeks game through illness, Jacob Jordan, could be in line with a recall, however there are a number of lads that have put their hands up for selection ahead of this week. One of the few definites to miss this weeks fixture shall be Dan Robinson, as he suffered a terrible cut above his eye last weekend.
1st XV Captain Sam Rees had this to say:
"The pure determination and will to win from the lads last weekend was amazing. There will be a few sore bodies early this week, but they will all be keen to pull on the jersey next Saturday and look to continue their form. Tuesday and Thursday evenings this week will be interesting and cause some good selection headaches!"

Kick off this week should be scheduled for 1400, so stay tuned!
