A tough game in prospect against title contenders.

The Saints travel to title-chasing Northwich for what will be a challenging encounter in testing conditions. With Carl Hellier's wedding taking precedence over our league campaign, several of our developing players get their chance to stake a claim for a regular 1st team shirt. Jack Walsh comes in to the row for Paul Hellier and Macaulay Taylor makes his debut on the wing. Lewis Keen and Jo Carew will come off the bench.

With Fili Mafe unavailable,

Northwich are in a rich vein of form with 5 straight wins. Saints, though, have won the last 2 games and were victorious at home in the last encounter with today's opponents.
