Paul Turner – Head Coach of Ampthill Rugby “It great to welcome our old friends from Hartpury to Dillingham Park again this Saturday. We’ve had some great games against each other in the past and I’m sure this weekend will be just the same. Hartpury had a great result last weekend with a very solid win against Nottingham so they are in really good form.
We have picked the same forward pack that started the game against London Scottish last weekend but we make a couple of changes to the backline with player-coach Darryl Veenendaal rotating in at scrum-half and debuts for Sam Costelow ( Dual Registered – Leicester Tigers ) at fly-half and Cameron Anderson ( Dual Registered – Wasps ) at outside Centre, getting their first starts at Dillingham Park.
It is another historic day for the club playing Hartpury for the first time in the Green King IPA Championship and the small matter of the World Cup Final between England v South Africa ( Clubhouse open from 8.30 am ) to start the Day”
