After the excitement of last week's epic encounter with Worcester 2, Redditch would be expeecting to visit near neighbours Bromsgrove 3rds full of confidence.

However a serious injury to second row Tom Dickens (pictured) means Redditch will be fielding a much changed team.

Jo Mc Combie and Jon Beale will combine in a light weight second row with Coach Stu Brooks returning at number 8.

Jack Mehrtens returns to partner  Mark Green in the centres and Rory Allen returns to the fullback spot with Phoenix McCann, who filled in for Rory so well last week, returning to the wing.

With Bromsgrove's last match result another close encounter with Worcester the scene is set for another exciting local derby.

Kick off is at 3:00pm at Bromsgrove Rugby Club.
