Match Preview
Consett 1stXV host Novocastrians for the final 3pm kick off until February 2018 (subsequent games will k.o at 2.15pm).
A couple of changes to the team see Captain Mark Sadler side lined freeing up space for Connor Petch in the No.2 jersey & Graison Dale moving to Loose head prop. Lewis Mcqueen completes the front row. The second & back row is unchanged after their barnstorming performances in the past few games however John Rowbotham takes up a place on the replacements bench after overcoming his 1 millionth hamstring injury! The back line sees a couple of changes with Nick Cook vacating the 13 shirt for the returning Haydn Petch, Cook moves from 13 to 10 & Tom Johnson slots back into Fullback, Alex Paulus will partner Petch in the centres & will look to strike up a dangerous season long partnership. The free scoring wingers Cameron Day & Dan Patchcott complete the back line up at 11 & 14 respectively and will look to add to their combined tally of 11 tries for the season. The replacements also include Gareth Henderson & Connor Gates.
This promises to be an entertaining encounter !
Be seeing you!
