After taking advantage of last weekends ‘rest week’, Des is able to welcome back from injury and unavailability several of those who missed the trip away to Ipswich. Among those still missing though are vice captains Lory Martin and Luke Turner, so former skipper Matt McCarthy will step in to the VC role to support Tigers captain Jim Storey. Elsewhere there is a 1st XV debut for former Colts player Joe Long.

Please note that for this fixture, and every fixture across all age groups this weekend, there will be a minute’s silence in honour of Tigers stalwart Max Pocock, who sadly passed away last Sunday.

All support would be very welcome so please try and make it along, and bring your voices with you! Why not bring your lederhosen as well and join the team in an Oktoberfest themed social after the game in the club bar.
