After a two-week break, Henley Hawks welcome back Jerry Sampson as they return to National League 1 action with a match against London Welsh at Old Deer Park.

The lock forward has been absent for four weeks his longest break away from the game for four seasons.

New prop Colum Hannam comes into the reckoning in place of Dave Penney as Hawks prefer to play centres Trevor Walsh and Riccardo van Zyl as their two permitted overseas players.

Dunan Roke will move to fly half, with Matt Jones involved with exams.

Banbury, unusually placed in the bottom half of the Midland Division 1 table, will be hoping to get back to winning ways at home to Newbold.

Both sides have two wins each, but the Bulls, with their superior points difference, are one place ahead of their Warwickshire visitors.

Second row Dave Phipps is unavailable, but otherwise coach Martin Hobley can select from a full squad.

Chinnor, knocked off the top of South West Division 2 East by their defeat at home to local rivals Aylesbury on Saturday, will aim to bounce back away to Abbey, from Reading.

There are two delayed second preliminary round ties in the David Charles Oxfordshire Cup this weekend.

Littlemore are at home to Didcot tomorrow while Wallingford entertain Abingdon on Sunday.

Oxford Harlequins entertain Evesham in a friendly at the Horspath Road ground. Dave Boreham, Jim Smith, Henry Pooler and Jim Knox are added to the squad.
