All three senior Weston sides look to bounce back to winning ways this weekend. Team selection for 1stXV, United and Athletic below. 1stXV ko: 3.15pm.

Weston-super-Mare have two remaining SSE National Three South West matches this season, and both of them are at home. Old Patesians are the visitors on April 19 but first up is the visit of Avonmouth Old Boys, kick off 3pm.

The Seasiders suffered a number of injuries in their Somerset Cup semi-final defeat by North Petherton at Bridgwater including skipper David Swann, hooker Craig Withers and flanker Ben Cox.

Weston have already secured their place in National Three South West while Avonmouth's fate has also been determined as they will be relegated to South West One for next season. So only local bragging rights are at stake on Saturday.

With Swann being sidelined, but hopefully back for the game against Old Patesians, centre Sylvan Edwards (pictured) will lead the team. The game sees the first start after injury for fly-half James Mackay who already has 164 league points to his credit this season.

Weston United (away v Taunton 2ndXV, 3pm): Adam Godfrey; Paul Sprague (capt), Ollie Caton, Chris Young, Troy Hannam; Jon Filer, Dan Lomax; Jake Whatley, Tom Wheatley, Steve Donegan, Barry Sparks, Tony Cottle, Lewis Hancock, Chad Smidt, Elliott Monelle.
