HAVEN’T I SEEN YOU BEFORE?

There's a new but old face in the Raiders squad for their first National two South game of 2019. After a long lay-off due to injury, Owen Thomas has earned himself a spot on the bench for tomorrow's game against Bury St Edmunds at Footes Lane. Kick off 2pm.
However, on the debit side, sadly Douglas Horrocks is away for work, which means Matt Thomas starts at No. 8 with youngsters Matt Creber and George Shannon alongside him.
Creber has added impetus to perform against Bury St Edmunds and perhaps get himself a couple of tries, as it is his 18th birthday.
Bury St Edmunds arrive having enjoyed three wins out of four in December to haul themselves up to eighth in the table.
They will come with plenty of confidence, especially as they put 70 points on the board against us earlier in the season but Guernsey will be looking to redeem themselves.

Kick off 2pm. Free entry for members and under 16. £9 entry for non-members.
Food available from Slaw and coffee from The Off Road Coffee Company.

TEAM:
Cameron Craine, Tom Ceillam, Layton Batiste, Lewis Hillier (capt.), Nick Merrien, George Shannon, Matt Creber, Matt Thomas, Nico Alexandre, Elia Morisio, Chris Ahne, Callum Gladstone, Luke Jones, Daley Aremu, Anthony Armstrong.
Replacements: Sam Steventon, Harry Baron, Dom Rice, Owen Thomas and Owen Clemett.
