SIXTH placed Rochford Hundred head to Holt this weekend expecting their usual hard encounter in Norfolk.

Rochford beat Holt, who are now ninth in the London Two North East table, 43-30 back in December but Hundred’s first team manager Graham Pratt believes their hosts are now a much tougher team to play.

Rochford will also be without Matt Stewart and Jon Baker but captain Sam Tape is back and so too is Dan Needham.

Also in London Two North East, second from bottom Basildon head to Enfield Ignatians who sit seventh in the standings while eighth placed South Woodham Ferrers travel to bottom of the table Old Cooperians.

In London Three North East, struggling Billericay – who have lost 18 of their 19 league games so far this season – host Clacton, the only team below them in the table.

Fifth place Canvey Island are also in action at home as they take on second placed Epping Upper Clacton in Essex One while eighth placed Pegasus Palmerians are at home to East London who are just one place below them.
