28th JANUARY 2023 - Kick Off 14.15
Birkenhead Park await next Saturday, and there’s no doubt their Wirral neighbours Anselmians will have shared some details of the recent experience at Port-e-Chee. Pretty much everyone impressed last Saturday for Douglas and selection may only involve positional quandaries. Bowmar’s try scoring selection at number 10 looked to have worked in the 35 minutes available before injury replacement Snellgrove stepped in, and to date is the only fitness test on the horizon.
Harry Hewson since his return has been selected on the wing where he sees less action than his all-court game deserves at his natural berth in the centre. Allied to the pace that Kyle Martin brings at full-back, amplified when experience brings earlier Martin decision making on the counter, Hewson can and does make a difference. Up front as you’d expect with Phil Cringle in charge, the forwards are going well. The line-out looked a lot steadier against Anselmians, and the scrum was occasionally on top and in good nick until penalised at the set-piece.
Squad – Owen Carvin, Thomas Coleman, Ralph Clarke, Simon Hoddinott, Rob Todd, Conor Garland, Craig McGee, Niall Killey, John Dutnall, Luke Hyland, Bryn Snellgrove, Bradley Bowmar, Aidan O’Shea, Harry Hewson, Kyle Martin, Sam McCord, Jack Shimmin, Phil Cringle, Brendan Kelly, Miguel Costa, Callum Dentith, David Sherwin
