TEAM NEWS | Squad named for Caldy trip
Mike Rayer has named his squad as Bedford Blues prepare to make one of their longest trips of the 25/26 Champ Rugby season by heading to Caldy tomorrow (Kick Off 2pm).
Still chance to support the boys in Merseyside with tickets available here; or watch the game from the comfort of home via Clubber TV.
The game sees Blues searching for their first away success of the calendar year, with the journey to the Wirral to face a side who are always tricky customers on their home patch.
For the ninth meeting between the pair, Rayer makes five changes to the Starting XV, including a welcome return to the centre for Michael Le Bourgeois. His inclusion is one of two differences to the backs division with club captain, Alex Day also brought in from the off.
Joey Conway continues the familiar feel of front row rotation by beginning the contest, while elsewhere in the forwards pack Rory Ward is able to return from injury and Fred Tuilagi helps form the back row.
Away from tomorrow’s game, Blues can confirm that Tom Price has departed the club via mutual consent. We would like to thank Tom, Blues Brother #3846, for his contributions while at Goldington Road and wish him all the best in the future #OnceABlue.
