As we gear up for another thrilling week of matches, teams are experiencing a welcome wave of changes, but this time it’s not due to injuries. The Lions, with six alterations to their lineup, are set to face off against Tunbridge Wells, a formidable opponent in National Level Five. Meanwhile, the Nomads, with only five players remaining from their previous match, are eager to turn their season around against Bognor. The Wanderers, bolstered by returning players, are ready to take on Oakmeadians at Canford School.

The Lions, following a disappointing performance against Havant, have been strengthening their pack.

Young gun Stan Vincent gets the nod at No8, and Ryan Woodford returns as tighthead, fortifying the forward line. In the backs, there are no changes, but the bench sees a fresh look with the return of Anthony Fitch, Connor Mccaffrey, and the indomitable Luca Firetto. With an eye on a week off, the Lions are eager to display their true potential on the field.
