This will be only the second outing of the season for the 2s, but with a squad of 23 ready to take to the field, there's a real sense of occasion ahead of today's game against the Nomads. The importance of the local rivalry has certainly helped bring the squad together for this one.

The two sides have met six times previously, with Withycombe recording two wins against Exmouth's four. Last season's meeting at Raleigh Park saw Withy come out on top with an impressive 36–19 victory, and the boys will be looking to make home advantage count once again.

With a strong squad assembled and local bragging rights up for grabs, there's plenty to look forward to this afternoon.

Kick-off is at 2pm at Raleigh Park, and all support is very much appreciated as the boys look to make it a successful derby day.
