Match Preview

Malone (2nd) v Skerries (8th)

In the return fixture at Gibson Park on Sat supporters will be looking for both teams to serve up another action packed end to end game of rugby. Head coach Jarrett Truscott has made a number of changes some positional. Prop Phil Eadie is unavailable and is replaced by Gary Crawford with Lee Barlow coming in at loose head. Cory Tipping returns to the second row to partner James McAllister with Richard Millar joining Captain Neil Alcorn and Number 8 Ross Todd in the back row. The back line will see one change with Rory Campbell replacing the injured Gareth Millar at full back. Richard McCullagh joins Ben Halliday, Johnny Ogilby, Ben McDonnell and Steven Bell on the bench. In that devastating opening forty minutes last Sat Malone scored five tries and will look to out half Josh Pentland to once again impose his influence on the match.
