Match Preview

The U18s take on Trophy Finalists Wargrave Wolves at St. Mary's on Saturday. The Berkshire outfit have had a fairly successful league season, sitting fifth in the table on 29points after 16 games. When the teams met at Kings Field in September, Wargrave recorded a 3-2 victory with an 85th minute winner after Tigers had levelled from 0-2 down after 70 minutes with goals from Ned Davies and Frazer Pickrell. Our visitors are the only team to have completed the double over Champions elect, Windsor & Eton, winning the two games 3-0 and 5-1, although the first victory was by default.
Tigers come into this game on the back of a frustrating defeat at home to Ashridge Park Royals. Skipper Frazer Pickrell returns to the starting line-up having missed last weeks game. Louis Liddiard, who had one of his best performances of his six appearances, is absent again. With Jabir Ahmed injured for the remainder of the season, it means that the Tigers squad is once again stripped back to just 11 available players.
A win for Tigers would take them clear of the battle at the bottom of the table and ensure a mid-table finish
