Both senior teams travel to Colston's School in Bristol for the return fixtures from October, which were both excellent contests.

We face another tough test down in Bristol tomorrow. The table may show the Old Colstonians are not flying high, but we all know that Bristol sides are always hard opponents when on home soil. We are however confident and are looking to push on, we have

The First XV will be hoping to replicate or improve on their 24-19 victory back in October, coming off the back of the narrowest of defeats to undefeated league leaders Longlevens a few weeks ago.

First XV Manager Mike Simmonds is looking forward to the trip: "We face another tough test down in Bristol tomorrow. The table may show the Old Colstonians are not flying high, but we all know that Bristol sides are always hard opponents when on home soil. We are however confident and are looking to push on, we have our eyes set on second place in the league."

The Seconds were defeated 27-39 in October in a fantastic match and although they lost 23 - 15 last week away at Bream, the team is developing well and they will expect to put in a good performance.

The coach for players, physios and support staff leaves shortly after the 11.45am meet time. We will make supporters aware of any spare seats over the next 48 hours, but otherwise, please do make the short journey down the M5 to support the lads in a fantastic setting for watching rugby and enjoying a few post-match refreshments!

The school is easy to find:

Address:
Colston's School, Bell Hill, Stapleton, Bristol, England, BS16 1BJ

Directions:
From the M32 (IKEA Junction 2) take the road towards Frenchay and you will see the School on the right hand side after about half a mile. Go through the gates, take an immediate right, and you will see a cricket pavilion in front of you - this is the club house.
