Tom Bulmer29 Oct 2021 - 11:00

Mowden make 4 changes for Saturday's trip to Volac Park (3pm Kick Off).

DMP Director of Rugby Garry Law has named his 20 man squad for this weekends trip to Cambridge in Round 9 of the National One season. The starting 15 includes 4 changes from the side who defeated Rams 29-23 last time out.

In the front row, George Shannon comes in to start at hooker with Alfie Barron continuing his run of starts at loosehead. Josh Crickmay continues at tighthead after his try last week, while Grayson Maguire returns to the second row to join Talite Vaioleti. A reshuffled back row sees Joe Craggs revert to Number 8, with Tom Marshall and Will Jones continuing on the flanks.

The only change in the backs sees Callum Mackenzie return to start at inside centre, with Liam Checksfield retaining his place outside him in the 13 shirt. Euan McKirdy and Warren Seals continue at 9 & 10, with an exciting back 3 of Ollie Walker, Morgan Passman and Chris McTurk rounding off the starting 15.

Amongst the replacements there is a potential DMP debut for second row Ryan Kirkbride who joins the club from National Two North side Blaydon. Ralph Appleby and Carl Guest provide further cover for the forwards, while there are options across the back line from Oscar Yandall and Tom Broadhead.
