Maids look to get back to winning ways at Camberley

-

Maidenhead RFC will return to competitiv­e action this weekend when they travel to Camberley for a Regional 1 South Central clash.

Maids’ last league outing was on October 1 when they had a four game unbeaten streak abruptly ended at Braywick Park by leaders Oxford Harlequins (29-46).

The Squirrels, Saturday’s opposition, are also high-flying and sit two points below David Mobbs-Smith’s third-placed men in fifth place.

They were 46-17 winners against Banbury in their most recent competitiv­e fixture.

W Windsor RFC will be looking to make home advantage count when they host Cobham this weekend – their first competitiv­e fixture at Home Park this season.

Andy Symons’ side find themselves rock bottom of the Regional 2 Thames League after five matches (0W, 0D, 5L).

In their defence, one of those clashes was narrowly edged by London Cornish on September 10 (29-28) while their most recent loss was to Beaconsfie­ld at the start of this month (31-10).

The Royals haven’t been able to utilise their pitch to full effect this season due to adverse weather conditions and the fact that a lot of Home Park was required

when Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral took place.

Cobham sit in ninth place with two wins and three defeats.

They were just beaten by Amersham & Chiltern, 23-28, in their last outing which was played on home turf.

W In the Counties 2 Tribute Berks, Bucks

& Oxon South Division, Slough RFC are fortunate enough to remain in fifth place following a 19-17 defeat to Maidenhead’s third team. The loss is the side’s third of the season to go alongside two wins.

They are next in action against 10thplaced Newbury 2nds on Saturday, October 22.
