Redditch welcome back Captain Matt Allen and brother Mike as they travel to Hopwood to try for a repeat win on Saturday.

Matt goes straight back in at open side whilst Mike will be on the subs bench.

With a strong pack out Stuart Brooks plays his 3rd position in as many games coming in for Dan Oscroft in the front row and making way for Matt Allen in the back row.

2 try impact player from last week, Jack Bacciochi and new comer Dan Lanham join Mike on the bench as forward replacements.

Kit Hemming and Will Heath are the new half back pairing whilst Dixonians man of the match Ash Mooney and Jack Mertens retain their centre pairing.

Vice captain James Mills goes to the bench whilst Will Spires moves from stand off to the wing.

Following their impressive win against Dixonians last week, Coach Tom Saddington is hoping for the same energy and commitment that brought that result.

Meanwhile the Exiles take on Bromsgrove Crusaders at Bromsgrove in a rerun of so many memorable clashes over the years.
