Cinderford RFC strive to end away day loosing streak against Birmingham Moseley

Cinderford RFC will travel up to Birmingham Moseley tomorrow in the hope they can redeem their reputation, having not won away since October.

This weekends fixture is a highly anticipated game that was originally going to be played in December, however the frozen pitches meant a reschedule was in order.

Last week Cinderford lost to Sale while visiting Heywood Road, at half time the only points Cinderford had managed to grasp was a penalty try. Mike Austin claimed all the other points in the second half, scoring a try, conversion and penalty kick.

Austin will be starting as scrum half on Saturday with a back line identical to last weeks. George Boulton will accompany him at fly half.

In the pack, Harry Edwards starts over George Porter for the first time and Tim Brokett starts over Shaun Knight.

Cinderford’s star man Nathan Taylor starts in the front row, and is currently one try off being National League One’s top try scorer.

Moseley will be an exciting game as both teams sit mid table, with Cinderford in fifth and Birmingham in eighth.
