Mitch Spencer, Brad Talbot and Alex Giltrow all return this weekend as Clifton welcome Canterbury to Station Road ahead of the last November game as the club continue there run into Christmas.

Giltrow comes into the front row to replace Charlie Bullimore and he is joined by Bristol Bears Hooker Aaron Thompson. The former SGS prospect has been with Bristol for 2 years and will make his debut for Clifton. Ricky Cano continues in the front row.

Henry Harper is joined by Joe Owen following his return to action last week to form a physical pairing in the second row and the back row sees Brad Talbot return alongside the impressive Max Woodward and Dan Broady.

There is one change in the backline following last weeks win away to Bury; Mitch Spencer comes in for Andrew Simmers, who drops to the bench and Luke Cozens wears 10, Marcus Nel and Zak Hamid form the centre pairing an the back 3 remans the same with Fin Sharp, currently the leagues joint top try scorer, Bentley Halpin and Alex Forrester at 15.

The Bench sees Simmers join Sam Tuner, Regan Herbert, Tom Wilson and Zak Ward.

With Redruth hosting Worthing and Esher playing Guernsey, there will be some movement in the table this weekend, so it is imperative that Clifton continue to pile the pressure on the front runners in that is fast becoming an extremely tight league fight.
