Acquaintances are to be renewed with Ampthill at Silver Leys this week.
There will doubtless have been many personnel changes in their team since we last played - in the promotion play-off down there three years ago. Young prop, Garside has joined from OAs this season, as has Stef Liebenberg at scrumhalf, from Cambridge, where we came a cross him a number of times and, prior to that in his time at OAs too. Dom Morris, who played on Loan from Sarries for us two seasons ago appeared for them two weeks ago, but not last week and, since he is presumably, dual registered with them and Sarries, may or may not be available for them this week. Back row, Luke (?) Bercis has been a standout player for them for some time and will be someone to watch out for.
Ampthill had a thumping (45-5) home win last week over Esher, so look as if they may be running into the kind of form that saw them high up this league last season but, after our great win at Rosslyn Park last week,the Stortford team will be looking forward to taking them on. COYB!
