The Hurricanes welcome 3rd placed Millbrook to the Fairway this weekend, as the clash between the two sides will go some way to shaping up how the season will pan out and how both teams will finish.
Last weekend Sandown & Shanklin were unceremoniously dumped out the of HSB Gales Hampshire Plate by Southampton RFC, and with the squad still licking their wounds from the stinging defeat, there will be a few itching to write the wrongs. A bounce back against the visiting Millbrook will be something to help soothe the soul and also close up the gap between the two sides in the league. The visitors sit in 3rd place on 54 points, after they managed to play a postponed game last weekend. Millbrook hosted Alresford and ground out a narrow victory to extend their lead over the Hurricanes to 6 points. The home side will be looking to claw their way back into the promotion hunt, with a victory over the visitors this Saturday.

Captain Sam Rees will be returning this Saturday after a short holiday in the mountains. The home side will also be without Harrison Booth, who remains injured, and Darren Carew who is also injured.
