Ampthill welcome Championship league leaders Ealing Trailfinders to The Olney Field on Saturday afternoon in a game that was originally scheduled for January.
Head Coach Paul Turner makes three changes to the team that started against Cornish Pirates at The Mennaye three weeks ago.
Sam Crean, Samson Adejimi and tighthead James Johnson continue in the front row whilst Ollie Stonham and Iwan Shenton pack down again in the engine room. Toby Knight moves to blindside this week with Nathan Michelow returning to the Ampthill starting XV after winning the Under 20s Six Nations with England. Club captain Morgan Strong shores up the pack at number eight.
Josh Barton starts at fly half this week alongside the experienced Pete White. Â Olly Hartley is partnered by Oli Morris in midfield and Turner names an unchanged back three of Tobias Elliot, Brandon Jackson and Tom Bacon.
Ahead of the game,  Paul Turner said “Ealing are always a tough challenge. The break in games has given us time to work on a few things as a squad. We’ve challenged our players to get better after our last outing and we’ll need to be at our very best to get the result we want on Saturday” Â
