Colchester Rugby Club are gearing themselves up for their London League 2 North clash against Bishop's Stortford on Saturday.

The club have had a terrible season to date, but hopes of survival in the league were raised after their 20-10 victory at Bury St Edmunds, last weekend.

New 1st XV coaching duo, Tim Grimsey and Chris Spowart have high hopes of victory on Saturday, with Tim adding: "I'm confident that the team that's been picked can win us the game and that we can get the players to perform for us on Saturday.

"Once we have a couple of wins under our belts, we can go from strength to strength."
