CHINNOR have been forced to make two changes for their Powergen National Trophy second-round tie at South West 1 rivals Clifton tomorrow.

Fullback Matt Buckley is out with a knee injury, and his place goes to James Hewitt, while Jon Brooks replaces the unavailable Mike Cook in the back row.

Coach John Brodley said: "Clifton will be our toughest challenge yet and I would put them as slight favourites especially as they have the home draw, but nobody should write us off."
