Halfway through the league campaign, and the firsts sit in 10th place in the table. This weeks visitors Drybrook currently lie in 5th place after a recent good run of form. Okes will be hoping to do the double over their Forest of Dean visitors as they look to maintain their fine home record, but the opposition will provide a stern test for sure.

Once more the Okes lost away from home last time out, as it seems the fates continually contrive against them. However its up to the lads to put those issues right, and hopefully a decent home crowd this week can witness more of the fine rugby produced at the Showground over recent weeks.

Team news will appear here later; injuries and playing conditions may impact on the side selected. Elsewhere the twos travel to Paignton looking to strengthen their position at the top of Devon Merit table one. While the colts travel to Tavistock to begin the second phase of their league campaign.

There's still time to take in one last game of rugby before you overdo it on turkey and booze, so make your way to the club and cheer on the lads, and perhaps partake of a pre Xmas tipple or two as well..

..."Come On You Okes!"
