After the Christmas & New Year break it will be good to get back to normal, with a challenging trip to the Isle of Sheppey (North Kent). Training has been difficult given the amount of rain over the last few weeks and the cancellation of some training, (According to the Crowborough Weather Station, over 15" of rain in December !!!).
Anyway, Selection will be difficult (yet again) and looking at the availability and the performance against Crawley, before the Xmas break, we could field a very similar side, which will be an achievement in its self !

Low light's - Ollie Jude-Trailor is Away on Vacation and Matt Botterman is still away with Work, however we could see an appearance from Matty Eyres on Christmas leave this week, which could be interesting...... Which will be in addition to the Uni Boys being back and available for another week.

Team Selection is now available on the web page.
In short , 4 x changes from the starting line-up from our prior game back in September.
Income Rosie for Rob H-T, Tom Boddy for Henry Nicoll, Slatt's positional change for Charlie Bulow and finally Yatezey for Sam Perry, who goes to the bench.
The bench is revitalized by Sam, Will Creasy and Matt Eyres who should be good to watch on his 1st XV return for a year or so !
