Despite the disappointment from the opening matches of the season there has been a positive mood and mentality at training with plenty of development points being worked on. The numbers have been good and both the players and coaching team are hoping to turn that positive attitude into points this weekend.

Although early season availability issues has meant that both teams will be fielding different line ups to those in their previous matches, this has given the coaches the opportunity to try more new combinations across the teams to see how they perform in a live match situation.

The first XV travel to Weybridge Vandals. The team is as follows:

1: Jordan Carter
2: Will Larkin
3: Daniel O'Donoghue
4: Simon Trivett
5: Max Page
6: Dan Turner
7: Tom Bell
8: Aiden Price (C)
9: Sam Gee
10: Dom Holling
11: Jim Balenaivalu
12: Barney Barnes
13: Jahray Rodelana
14: Shaun Taylor
15: Matt Forfar
16: Trevor Westerman
17: Mark Knoll-Pollard
18: Darren Pankhurst

The 2nd XV host Ventnor at Gosport Park. Their line up is:

1: Nathan Titchener
2: Kyal Jones
3: Alan Jackson
4: Euan Pearce
5: Grant Reddin
6: Tom Lillicrap
7: Jonathan Flynn
8: Max Plummer

Both matches kick off at 3pm and we wish all players wearing the blue & gold of Gosport & Fareham RFC the very best of luck.
