Redditch start the second half of the season with a tricky away fixture at Cannock, who were one of only two teams to beat the Kingfishers in the 1st half of the season.
Redditch welcome back experienced and influential no 8 Stu Brooks for his 2nd game back after injury. His reading of the game and pack leadership will help the powerful Redditch pack to play to their srengths on what promises to be a very damp afternoon.
Will Spires returns to stand off allowing Aaron Arkinson to return to his favoured full back position where his experience will give some solidity at the back in the difficult conditions.
A big bonus for Redditch will be the return of former Redditch Junior Tom McLarney after spells with Moseley Colts and Moseley Oak. He is joined in the centres by Captain Matt Allen in a big, tough pairing well suited to the wet weather track.
Meanwhile the Seconds welcome Tenbury Seconds to Bromsgrove Road in what promises to be a very muddy encounter.
If you fancy some fresh air, a pint and Pukka Pie, why not wrap up well and head down to support the seconds?
