Game three in our maiden season in the Merit Table and we’re welcoming Exeter Saracens IIs to Raleigh Park in what will be the first meeting between our two sides.

Inevitably, with the nature of 2nd XV sides, both teams will have familiar faces that will have played each other during the regular 1st XV fixture each year, so we still have a good idea of the challenges that awaits.

Withy go into today’s game in third place, level on points with Exeter Engineers. After their game last weekend, Exmouth Nomads re-take the top spot with fourteen points, but have played four games to Withy’s two.
Our visitors tomorrow, Sarries currently sit fourth, also with ten points after playing five matches.

When we last took to the field a fortnight ago, the Withy 2s took on Exmouth in an epic derby-day battle with Withy gaining the bragging rights with a 36-19 win at home.
In their last outing last Saturday, Saracens were 49-26 winners against fifth-placed Topsham III at Exhibition Fields.

If previous 1st XV encounters are anything to go by, this is set to be a great game with plenty of action to be enjoyed. We’d love to see as many o you as possible pack the park and provide the usual incredible home support! Tomorrow’s game kicks off at 2:20pm at Raleigh Park… See you there!
