Lutonians look to bounce back from defeat
Luton announce their line-up for the visit of Hertford
After a week off Luton have announced a number of changes to their side for their home game against Hertford on Saturday, kick-off 3pm.
Steve and Mark Gray have returned from a business trip and start at half-back and Laurence Alden, Liam Cassidy, James Ormesher, Danny Webb and Jamie Russell are all available for their first league games of the season.
Hertford have had a mixed start to the season. After two early season league victories against Sutton & Epsom, 37–21, and North Walsham, 22-21, Hertford have lost their last three league games to Barnes, 27-19, Shelford, 45–19, and Old Albanians, 44–15.
Director of rugby Denis Ormesher said: "Hertford will be a tough challenge and we will not underestimate them. They have a strong pack, and the game has all the 'spice' of a local derby.
"We have started the season well with four wins out of five, losing our first game two weeks ago, 22–20, away at Bishop's Stortford.
"Playing with 14 men for most of the second half meant we were always stretched, but we lost the game in the first half when we failed to capitalise on our possession and too often kicked away good possession.
"It is key that the squad learn from this game and use the lessons in the coming weeks. News on the injury front is mixed, with 10 of the first XV squad injured currently, but it is good to see some of our other injured players from earlier in the season fit and returning to the squad."
Luton's line up is: 1 Michael Ormesher, 2 Andrew Lake, 3 Keni Barrett, 4 Laurence Alden, 5 Liam Lancaster, 6 John Robinson, 7 Will Temperley, 8 Andy Davey, 9 Steve Gray, 10 Mark Gray, 11 Pepe Nanci, 12 Matt Allen (C), 13 Liam Cassidy, 14 Danny Webb, 15 Richard Woodard. Subs: 16 James Ormesher, 17 Duncan Chubb, 18 Jamie Russell.
