Henley Hawks have to beat fellow National 2 strugglers Nuneaton at Dry Leas tomorrow to stave off relegation - for this week at least.

Centre Luke Burns returns to the squad for the first time since December.

Lock Rob Hurrell has fully recovered from his fractured eye socket, while No 8 Dave Archer is back after concussion.

Liam Wordley starts at hooker, while on-loan Wasps wing Mark Odejobi returns from England duty.

Back row forwards Rory Cookson and Charlie Bennett make their first league starts in Witney's home clash with Buckingham in Southern Counties North.

Wing Lewis Collins, prop Alan Richens and fly half James Elwood all return to the starting line-up.

Bicester will be without Chris Giles (holiday), Paul Leverton (work) and Martin Linstrom (holiday) when they travel to Abingdon in the BB&O Premier Division, knowing a win will see them promoted.

Ross Kenny (shoulder) and Chad Ward (strain) are injury doubts.
