CRUNCH TIME

Three players return to the Raiders lineup tomorrow for what is the latest biggest game of big games for Jordan Reynolds squad.
Top try scorer Anthony Armstrong returns on the wing, Douglas Horrocks at No. 8 and Brad Webb is also added to the pack options, albeit off the replacements bench.
Raiders would love to overturn Rochford Hundred tomorrow, with their solitary loss this campaign being early season away at Rochford who then were winning for the 52nd game in succession as they target a third straight promotion.
Raiders, who have won 11 on the bounce and are unbeaten at Footes Lane this season, aim to have a lot to say about that target, especially as they too are seeking a return to National 2.
Only winning the London and SE Premier can guarantee that.
Second place only earns the recipients a play-off with the South-West runners-up.
While that would satisfy the pre-season ambitions of the coaching team, now that they lead the table and are the only team to have lost just once, it is the trophy they want.
‘Rochford have a big pack who are very mobile and strong so it’s going to be a great challenge for our forwards,’ said the coach who said the squad are excited and eager to go.
Another massive home crowd is expected, the likes of which are not seen at this level.
Kick off is at 2pm. Free entry for members and under 16. £9 entry for non-members.

The Grant Thornton Guernsey Rugby Academy Under 15 side will host Brighton Under 15 in a curtainraiser match at 12 noon on Footes Lane.

Raiders team:
Steventon, Ceillam, L. Batiste, Hillier, Merrien, Raymond, Rice, Horrocks, O’Connor, Andresen, J. Batiste, Thomas, M. Armstrong, A. Armstrong, Sayer. Replacements (from): Craine, Webb, Barker.
