TEAM NEWS: Hartpury v 1st XV, Sat 27th Jan 2024

After an unexpected week off following the postponement of last Saturday’s game against Ealing Trailfinders, Ampthill travel west to the University Stadium to face old friends Hartpury.

Head Coach Paul Turner makes two changes to the matchday twenty-three that should have played last week.  Josh Hallett rotates with Fraser Strachan at inside centre for his first start since April whilst Cai Devine replaces Olamide Sodeke on the bench – his first appearance since the Premiership Rugby Cup fixture against Newcastle Falcons in September!

Following a final training session last night, Turner said “We were all disappointed not to play last Saturday after a positive result the previous week at Doncaster. The team are raring to play Hartpury where it is always a tough place to go. They’ve had some good results recently and are a team in form. We’ll need to be at our best.”

  1. Tom Bacon 14. Tobias Elliot 13. Brandon Jackson 12. Josh Hallett 11. Ben Harris 10. Josh Barton 9. Pete White 1. Zac Nearchou 2. Ben Chapman 3. Dom Hardman 4. Joe Peard 5. Kaden Pearce-Paul 6. Izzy Moore-Aiono 7. Josh Smart 8. Morgan Strong (c)Replacements:
