Ampthill travel to Hartpury in Round 18 of the Championship to start their final block of league games this season.
Hartpury are one of the form teams in the Championship, sitting third in the table, unbeaten at home and with the least points conceded.
Head Coach Paul Turner makes two changes to the matchday twenty-three that beat London Scottish two weeks ago as Louie Johnson returns at fly-half with Josh Barton switching to full back in place of Evan Mitchell. Syd Blackmore replaces Reggie Hammick as the only change on the bench.
“Hartpury is a massive game for us on Saturday afternoon” said Paul Turner. “They’re one of the form teams in the Championship and unbeaten at home in the league this season. We’ve prepared well this week and are looking forward to the challenge”.
