Barry back for Clifton Rugby in time for clash with Richmond
Darren Barry is back from duty with Bristol to take his place in the Clifton engine room for tomorrow's National Two South home clash with Richmond (2.30pm).
Full-back David Rees is named at full-back, after returning from holiday, and Sam Smee switches to the wing as fourth-placed Clifton prepare to take on the sixth-placed Londoners.
It promises to be quite a day at Cribbs Causeway, with the club hosting a special pre-match lunch as well as the launch of For College, Club and Country, a comprehensive history of Clifton written by Patrick Casey and Richard Hale.
Steve Plummer, meanwhile, is handed his first start since leaving St Mary's and joining Dings Crusaders, who hope to build on last week's encouraging draw against Rosslyn Park at Henley.
The scrum-half replaces Ricky Jones, who is not available, while in the pack there is a debut for blindside Matt Carter. Pierre Panizzutti returns at No 8, with Mitch Quoi injured and Gavin Curry unavailable.
South African centre Mitch Smith makes his full debut for Weston-super-Mare, who bid to get back to winning ways in National Three South West at home to Reading (2.30pm).
Fly-half James Mackay is back from injury, so Harry Warman returns to full-back. And Neil Trevena swaps the No15 shirt for his preferred role at scrum-half.
Ashley Russell is back at lock, with Eddie Smith returning to the back row. Dave Price moves across to tighthead, with James Gallagher on the other side of the scrum. In South West One West, Bristol University student Rob Mangham makes his first-team debut in the back row for Yatton, who are away to Cullompton.
Ben Hazeldine is back on the wing for Clevedon, away to Hartpury, and scrum-half Ashley Vailes returns to the bench after recovering from a broken toe.
Thornbury make two changes for their trip to Western Counties North leaders Old Redcliffians, Sam Olde returning at full-back and James Murray starting in the second row.
