MINEHEAD Barbarians will be chasing their third victory of the season when they play at home to Avon in Counties Two Somerset this Saturday, September 28 (3p.m.).

Having lost their opening match at Nailsea, the Babas have bounced back with victories over Oldfield Old Boys and Chew Valley 2nd XV.

Minehead’s head coach Mick Orton missed the win at Chew but he said this week: “By all accounts it was a very good display. We never gave up against a very good side.

“We are still having to make changes from week to week but that’s always the case at this time of the year. Avon have always been a good side - both home and away.”

Minehead Barbarians 2nd XV are away to Hornets IV in Counties Four South.

Meanwhile Wiveliscombe, who lost for the first time this season when they went down 20-7 at home against Barnstaple Athletic last Saturday, are home again on Saturday - to Tavistock in Western Counties West (3p.m.).

Wiveliscombe will be hoping that talented scrum half Richard Baker will be fit after missing the loss against the North Devon side with a leg injury. Wiveliscombe 2nd XV are without a match.
