After last weeks decisive five point win over Macclesfield, which has hoisted us to ninth in the table, the Reds make the long journey to the East Midlands to take on Hinckley.

The Leicestershire side finished seventh in the table last season but have seen something of a drop in form and are currently in 12th place with just four wins out of 10 games played. However, they did manage a 41-31 win on the road at Exeter University last week, where their big pack dominated the game. Hooker Murray Davidson has become one of their most prolific try scorers, bagging three last week.

Hinckley have previously taken the scalps of Clifton, Macclesfield and Devonport Services on home turf. No one is going to make the mistake of underestimating them.

The kick off for this game has been brought forward to 2.15 owing to a problem with the floodlights.

Referee: Peter Connor. Assistant Referees: Jon Petzing - Leo Burton.
