Don't forget Tuesday night's Somerset Cup semi-final tie against North Petherton at Bridgwater, ko: 7.30pm, with the winners to face Taunton Titans

Weston-super-Mare play their last SSE National Three South West game on the road this weekend as they travel to Weedon Lane to face an Amersham & Chiltern side who are just two places but ten points above them in the table.

Mounting injuries are the Seasiders' major concern as they travel going in to the match against a side that took maximum points in the 25-5 victory when the sides last met but have won just one of their last five league games.

Last weekend's 39-29 home victory over Worcester Wanderers secured Weston's league status and there is also Tuesday night's Somerset Cup semi-final against North Petherton at Bridgwater to come plus two home league games.

Weston name the same back division that started in last weekend's 39-29 home win over Worcester Wanderers. In the pack Phil Hobbs (pictured), usually a prop, comes in to the second row, with Simon Hudson moving to No.8.

Weston-Super-Mare (away v Amersham & Chiltern, 3pm): Ross Bennett; Matt Burns, Harry Jones, Sylvan Edwards, Mike Burnett; Chris Young, Sam Smee; Dave Swann (capt), Craig Withers, Dave Price, Phil Hobbs, Ed Hunt, Ben Cox, Paul Morrissey, Simon Hudson. Reps: Harry Nash, Ned Barker, Kirk Middlemiss.

Weston United return to Tribute Somerset Premier league action on Saturday with a home match against league leaders Stothert and Pitt but the United will be looking to avenge the 11-6 defeat when the sides last met.

Weston United (home v Stothert and Pitt, 3pm): Adam Godfrey; Mike McCarthy, Mike Leahy, Troy Hannam, Dan Lomax; Jon Filer, James Reid; Jake Whatterz, Tom Wheatley, Rich Ford, Chad Smite, Tom Main, Joe Pullen, Dave Steele, Barry Sparks. Reps: Adam Fisher, Rob Blackborrow, tbc

Weston Athletic have won three of their last four Tribute Somerset 2 North matches which sees them in sixth place in the table. On Saturday they make the short trip to face a Nailsea & Backwell side who are just four points behind. Kick off: 3pm.
