Novos 3rds will face Medicals Serpents a week after our 2nds removed their 2nd team counterparts from the same competition.

Tommy names a strong side with plenty of experience but will be keeping his fingers crossed that James Desmonds buttock injury improves!!!

Tommy will include experienced campaigners such as Gus Walker, Stevie Gittins and James Desmond and of course himself along with youthful excuberance of his two sons Stewart and Tommy Junior, Jack Wilkinson, James Cowan and Jimmy Byers.

Skipper Alan Pitchford has made a full recovery from Anorexia to line up in the front row and is described as being 'fully fat' for the game!!
