Rory Greenslade-Jones’ side go into the contest on the back of four straight wins, although they were unconvincing 23-15 victors at basement side Chard in their most recent outing.

That run has taken them above Brixham and into third place, albeit that both sides have 74 points.

However, both Hornets and Old Centralians cut the gap to those two sides by earning bonus points last Saturday, the former thrashing Oxford Harlequins 56-0 and the latter overcoming Old Patesians 35-13.

The former are now on 66 points, with Old Cents on 64, although they have a game in hand on the two sides above them in the race for third place.

Bracknell won 45-32 in a thrilling encounter at Weston-super-Mare earlier in the season, on a day when their backs were in sizzling form. Stuart Mackay and George Owen both grabbed two tries – the latter adding 15 points with the boot – while Ian Burch and Joe Price also crossed the whitewash.

The Lily Hill Park side have lost just once at home this season – a 37-31 reverse against second-placed Exmouth – and they retain a mathematical hope of snatching second place from their Devon rivals, who sit 11 points ahead of them with four games remaining.

Crowthorne RFC CROWTHORNE RFC’s will hope to further their BB&O Championship title hopes when they travel to Aldermaston on Saturday.

The Crows sit just two points behind leaders Risbrough with two games remaining, although they possess a far superior points difference.

Karl Roberts’ men hammered Farnham Royal 42-14 last time out, and will be looking to complete a seasonal hat-trick of wins against the hosts, having already won 26-13 in West Berkshire before cruising to a 46-7 success at Cricket Field Grove earlier in the campaign.
