Match Preview

Heughers return to league action

The Heughers take on Hartlepool Old Boys 'A' in the CANDY League division 2 this Saturday, for a 15:00 kick off.

Following 3 away games in pre-season, the Friarage finally returns to action for the first competitive local derby of the season. Please meet at the club for 13:45 promptly, to get changed prior to individual and team photos.

New fan favourite 'Rugby' Ryan Hodgson is braced to make his competitive debut in a rovers shirt, along with Nathan Rayner. Ian 'Beanhead' Flounders represents a sight as rare as the white rhino, being the only rugby playing Flounders remaining following his brothers Andrew and Stephen's decision to retire from rugby in pursuit of gains, whilst Jack 'no I'm not a prop' Gunn returns to competitive action following a long lay-off with an Achilles injury.

The pressure will be on as rumour has it that expert advice will be offered from the sideline by non other than 2014/15 coach of the year, Matthew Wilson.

The squad will be picked from the below; although we are still awaiting confirmation on availability from a few other players, if you are not on the list but available then please let Mick Hanley or Miffy know.
