Barns Green take on the only team who have beaten them this season and they will be hungry for retribution.
The last time these teams faced off it was a preseason friendly in which Shoreham came away 14 - 38 winners. This was back in the September heat with little game experience for the men in Green and Gold against a team who had a few games under their belts. Since this pre-season friendly, both teams have gone on an impressive run of form.
Shoreham have started Sussex Premier 2 strongly opening with a comprehensive win against Worthing Azurians and then a 29-12 win over Steyning in round 2. Their confidence will be flying high and no doubt they will be expecting a win at the Field of Dreams.
Barns Green are fresh off the back of a 26-19 win against Worthing. Although they were comfortably winning the first half 26-0 their lack of game time showed in the second half allowing Worthing a comeback and nearly giving up the winning spoils. Having said that, their form in Sussex Two West cannot be ignored and they will equally be targeting a win against the table leaders.
Both teams have electric back lines and strong packs so it is going to be a fantastic contest with the winners marking their intent for the rest of the league. Currently there are three undefeated teams in Sussex Premier 2 but after this weekend, at least one will fall out of that prestigious group.
Kick off is at 2pm at the Field of Dreams, Barns Green.
