The new rugby year starts here

The new rugby year starts here

Graham Leftwich9 Jan - 18:38

Your Saturday teams (weather permitting!)

The new rugby year is here at last and there's a full programme of action for Leek tomorrow (Saturday).

It's largely as you were for the 1st XV as they travel to Battlestead Croft to take on Burton. Alex Fitzmaurice-James returns to the wing in the only change from the pre-Christmas win over Long Eaton.

There are a raft of changes for the 2nds as they host Burton 2s at St Edward's Park. Skipper Andy Thompson returns along with Callum Bloor, Jack Bray and Anton Davidson in the pack. The experienced Rob McDermott starts at 10 with Jay Wilkinson, Josh Ballance and Jack Fryer returning to the back line.

The 3s name a strong, experienced squad for their trip to Crewe and Nantwich, including a full set of Toms - Bourne, Grindey and Laverick all start with Fairhurst on the bench.

Our Academy team is also in action in Burton, along with the Under 11 Hawks who will play a curtain raiser ahead of the first team game.

Given the current bad weather, all games are subject to pitch inspections tomorrow - check Leek rugby social media for the latest news. And remember to wrap up warm in your Leek bobble hats and scarves as you cheer on the lads!
