Following the huge win against fierce rivals Dings Crusaders before Christmas, attention now turns towards the New Year and the visit of Taunton.

Taunton have had a very good December, picking up wins against Bristol rivals Dings and Old Reds with recent victories over Guernsey and a tight 33-35 win at home to Redruth. They arrive at Station Road as one of the leagues form teams and will meet a Clifton side on a high from a huge win at Dings before the end of the year.

With the festive break over, Matt Salter will look to kick on in what will be a very competitive January block with Taunton one of 3 sides to travel to Clifton in the next 4 weeks but will be lifted by the return to fitness of a number of players.

There are expected returns to training, notably in the back row for Number 8 Andy Chesters, Matthew Hall returns having missed the first part of the season and Cam Terry (Gloucester DR) is due back in the Lavender & Black following his stint playing in the Premiership Shield with Gloucester.

Ross Pritchard will look to continue his impressive start, having recently signed from Cardiff RFC earlier this month along with expected returns of club stalwarts Will Pomphery and Charlie Bullimore to add to the recent returns of Dave Wheeler and Ricky Cano.
