Clifton bid to keep up unbeaten run at Cleve
Unbeaten South West One leaders Clifton make the short trip to Cossham Street to face a Cleve side that are struggling towards the opposite end of the table with just three wins from 10 outings.
Player-coach John Barnes is unavailable due to his work as skills coach and performance analyst with Bristol at Franklin's Gardens so Andy Bell comes in at fly-half to partner scrum-half Ollie Sills.
Barney Kent replaces Bell on the bench, where lock Wayne Cochram replaces flanker Andy Edwards, who is away.
"After a lucky win last week against Bracknell we know that Cleve will be a very tough fixture. It's a hard place to go and derby matches have that extra spice about them," said Barnes.
"They are near the bottom of the table but their losses have been extremely close and they probably deserve to be higher in the table. They have been on a good run of late, winning three of their last four matches, a great win away at Barnstaple shows what they are capable of."
Cleve are forced to make a number of changes through injury, with Luke Fletcher coming in at full-back and Joe Hall switching to fly-half in place of Mike Hall. Skipper Sam Roach moves to lock and Guy Mercer to blindside, with Gareth May and Scott Edwards coming in at openside and No 8 respectively.
Cleve (home v Clifton. 2.30pm): L Fletcher; T O'Leary, J Pritchard, N Huntley, S Britton; J Hall, L Smye; A Lowe, C Liley, A O'Donnell, I Thomas, S Roach (capt), G Mercer, G May, S Edwards. Reps: tbc.
Clifton: D Rees; G Setherton, D Butler, S Leonard, S Smee; A Bell, O Sills; L Glass, R Wilkes, R White, P Reid (capt), D Barry, V Murrell, G Hardy, P Schmid. Reps: H Mace, W Cochram, B Kent.
After a good 28-16 home win over Exmouth last weekend Weston-super-Mare are expecting a tougher game away to Bournemouth, but have selected a side they believe can compete in all areas and bring the points home.
Eddie Smith returns at blindside flanker so George Sparks moves to No 8 with Dan Fry dropping to the bench. Roger Drabble, after strong games for the United side, replaces Ross Bennett at scrum-half.
Weston-super-Mare (away v Bournemouth, 2.30pm): H Warman; C Chrichton, G Britton, D Sanft, P Sprague; J Mackay, R Bennett; D Price, D Burge (capt), S Williams, M Kempton, A Russell, E Smith, C Trump, G Sparks. Reps: J Gallagher, D Fry, K Middlemiss.
Coney Hill, looking to end their run of four league defeats, make three personnel changes and one positional change as they travel to the league's basement side Oxford Harlequins.
Danny Brown plays on the right wing, replacing Jake Perry-Gardiner, Leighton Correia switches to tighthead prop as Adam Pettigrew is unavailable with Simon Ellacott at loosehead, and Sid King takes over from Mark Rimmer at No 8.
Coney Hill (away v Oxford Harlequins, 2.30pm): M Knight; D Brown, M Whelan, C Overthrow, N Codlin; R Baker, L Liggett; S Ellacott, R Nicholls, L Correia, M Riddel, J Lewis-Watkins, T Bozzard, C Ballinger (capt), S King. Reps: N Stroud, S Felice, tbc.
Chippenham will be looking to make it four home wins in a row when they host Old Patesians at Allington Fields, with the Cheltenham based side three places above them in fifth spot in the table.
Player-coach Hentie Martens returns at scrum-half for the home side with Grant Trewartha switching to full-back in place of Mark Wharburton, with Gary Champion returning at centre and Kris Beecham dropping to the bench. Old Pats make two changes from the side that beat Cleve last weekend, with Will Topps replacing Ian Burch on the right wing and Ben Spry taking over from Stu Taylor in the centre.
