Worrying injury blow for Turner
After last weekend's eventful trip to Canvey Island, which ended in a 34-13 defeat, things don't get any easier for Wymondham in London 3NE as they travel to Gunton Park to face Lowestoft & Yarmouth.
After last weekend's eventful trip to Canvey Island, which ended in a 34-13 defeat, things don't get any easier for Wymondham in London 3NE as they travel to Gunton Park to face Lowestoft & Yarmouth.
Their hosts have a formidable home record, losing just once in two and a half seasons, and have a nice mix of youth and experience, with at least four of the squad experienced at National League level.
Wymondham will be without the services of Alan Turner, pictured, who suffered a career threatening neck injury last Saturday at Canvey Island.
They hope to be able to call upon the multi-talented Stewart Forton to slot straight in at hooker if he can recover from an eye injury, also sustained last weekend. Jim Kelly will then take over the loose-head prop position.

Also in the forwards Martyn Dunsdon is promoted from the bench after some excellent work last week and the experienced Mike Rout makes a welcome return after last playing at South Woodham Ferrers at the end of November.
Should Forton fail to recover Kam Alothman looks set to make his league debut in the number two jersey.
