Rugby title rivals try again

The match has had to be re-arranged after being postponed last weekend due a waterlogged pitch.

Anything less than a win will almost certainly end H&B's hopes of landing the county crown as they have lost two more games than their unbeaten opponents.

The teams drew 8-8 earlier in the season but H&B assistant coach Rob Hamilton feels that the postponement has played into the hands of his men. He said: "I think we have got a better chance this week than we had on Saturday. I certainly feel we won't be any worse off."

This buoyancy is borne out of the fact that Neil Redman and Nick Edmonds have returned from holiday, while Rob Sparkes, Steve McManus and Seb Halligan should be fully fit after injury.
