Skipper Joe Newton-Taylor will lead our 1st XV into battle against Manchester with 8-man Joe Gorman and flanker Brennig Hughes returning to the pack. Noah Reaney continues at 10 and will no doubt benefit from Rob's presence at inside centre. There is a league debut for flyer Josh Cartlidge on the wing and another off the bench for newcomer Josh Ballance.

For the 2s, coaches Chris Mudd and Steve Fryer name a side with plenty of experience. Skipper Andy Thompson will lead from the base of the scrum, and in Ollie Drew and Liam McDermott they have a reliable half back pairing who will look to release their backs.

Both games kick off at 3pm. Please come along and cheer on the boys in their first outings tomorrow.
