MARTIN Moran will complete a coaching double bill in the National Under 20 Shield semi-final at Iffley Road on Sunday (6.30).
Moran takes Oxfordshire into battle against Oxford University Under 20s just three and a half hours after his Chinnor second team kick off against the Greyhounds.
Oxon won 45-17 when the teams met in their pool match in November, but Moran is expecting “a much tighter game against a much improved side” this time.
The county include Chinnor first-team regulars Will Millett and Leo Fielding.
Henry Hughes, who came off the bench during the Dark Blues’ Varsity Match victory over Cambridge in December, heads the student ranks.
The winners will face Cambridge University or Eastern Counties in the final at Twickenham on May 4.
Oxfordshire Under 20s: Buckland, G Blewitt, Fielding, Nutton, Carr, Millett, Watts, Jones, Deacon, Smith, Neal, Myatt, Horwood (capt), Biscoe, Kynge. Reps: Marks, Moore, Harris, Bishop, McCaffrey, Lennards, Elliot, Garrido.
Oxford University Under 20s: from Irvine, Darby, Symington, Hilton-Stevens, Toser, Key, Calvert, Heathcote, Greenwood, Jackson, Bainbridge, Horner, Oswal, O’Halloran, Williams, Hughes, Smith, Williams, Boardman, Shorthose (capt), Lomas, Grundmann, Dowling, Sasada, Meredith, Eyre, Clark.
