This week's team news for 1stXV, United and Athletic

The curtain falls on the 2014/15 season for the three senior sides on Saturday with the Weston 1stXV , looking to build on last weekend's victory at the Nest, away to second placed Exmouth who won 65-10 in the season opener.

Weston-super-Mare (away v Exmouth, 2.30pm): Ross Bennett; Matt Watkins, Chris Young, Sylvan Edwards, Ollie Caton; Glenn Dickson, Hayden Tuttiett; Sam Coles, Mike Hocking, Ollie Streeter, Andy Glen, Ash Russell, George Sparks (capt), Ben Cox, Cronan Gleeson. Reps: Darren Crompton, Shaun Eaton, Robbie Mackay.

Weston United will be hoping to complete this campaign with a season double in their home game against Oldfield Old Boys and, subject to results elsewhere, take them into third place in the Tribute Somerset Premier table.

When the sides met in the season opener, it was Weston who returned home the 22-6 winners after tries from wing Mike McCarthy, centre Ollie Caton and fly half Jon Filer plus tow conversions and a penalty from the boot of Dan Lomax.

Weston United are one point behind Tor who will also be looking to complete a season double in their match away to Old Redcliffians 2ndXV having won 22-14 in the season opener.

Weston United (home v Oldfield Old Boys, 3pm): Mike McCarthey; Harry Charalambous, Jon Filer, Mike Leahy, Troy Hannam; Dan Lomax, Ollie Trott; Rich Ford, Harry Nash, Aaron Solomon, Simon Hudson (capt), Ewan Bulger, James Andrews, Sam Fisher, Tom Crossman. Reps: Ed Hunt, Ben Cradock, Loz Ware.

Weston Athletic will be looking to finish their Tribute Somerset 2 North season with a victory away to Old Culverhaysians to make it six wins in a row although they won't be able to improve on their third place which is not under threat.

Old Culverhaysians visited Weston in the season opener and it was to be the first of their 22 defeats this season, beaten 59-14, which leaves them one place off the foot of the table.

The visitors may have been slightly hampered in their efforts when the sides last met as they turned-up short handed. Ever the gentleman, Barry Sparks sportingly volunteered to play for them.

Weston Athletic (away v Old Culverhaysians, 3pm): Jamie Russell; Joe McGrath, Rich Frost, Henry Monelle, Jack Bridgman; Dan Prime, Barry Sparks; Rob Tollen, Graham Hill (capt), Darren Wheatley, Chris Ashworth, Laz Noszkay, Rob Blackborrow, Chad Smidt, Elliott Monelle; Reps (from): C Hearne, J Matthews, M Lloyd, M Matthews, J Touhy, W Hunt, K Chamberlain, K Pulsford.
