1st XV Team News – Esher (A)

DMP Admin11 Oct 2024 - 11:00

Talite Vaioleti set to win 200th cap at Molesey Road (3pm Kick Off).

Darlington Mowden Park have named their 20 man squad for tomorrow’s National One fixture against Esher. The DMP starting lineup includes 1 change to the team that faced Blackheath last time out.

The only change sees club legend Talite Vaioleti come in for the start on his 200th league appearance in DMP colours. The Tongan lock comes in to join Oscar Usher in the second row, with Joe Craggs reverting to the back row alongside Ethan Hall-Lyon and Yaree Fantini. The front row remains unchanged, with Sam Kyle-Clay, Max Fraine and Eoin Harrison all retaining their places.

There are no changes in the backs, where last week’s tryscorer Callum Trees continues in the back three with Ollie Walker and Josh Ree. Liam Checksfield is once again paired with Harry Read in the centres, with Falcons duo Ben Douglas and Junior Newton at half back.
On the bench there’s a potential league debut for Sam Turnill who provides forward cover along with Jacob Oliver, Ryan Gibson and Louis Peacock, while Ewan Greenlaw returns to the squad to round off the replacements.
