Randell orders 'same again' from Millbrook

8:38am Friday 22nd March 2013 in Southampton

Regular Hampshire 1 rivals Romsey and Millbrook meet for the final time this season at Five Acres.

Romsey made a flying start to the season and sit just one place below their hosts. They are 17 points adrift of Brook and will expect a tough encounter tomorrow but will take confidence after running US Portsmouth and Alton close recently.

Millbrook introduced a few new faces to their starting line-up against Team Solent in the Hampshire Plate last weekend while other players took on new roles.

The changes worked for Brook and they will be giving the new-look side another run-out against Romsey tomorrow.

“We performed well, stuck to a game plan and will look to do the same again this weekend,” said captain Mike Randell.

Southampton have missed the ball-handling skills of Chris Milne but he is back from a three-week break to join his side for the trip to Alton. Pete Fox is also back after being sidelined with injury.

Coach Kevin Bouault said: “Some of these lads are desperately keen to play after a long break and with a close to a full strength squad we are looking forward to travelling to Alton.”
