Weston-super-Mare, looking to end a run of three defeats, have made three changes in their starting line up and three changes to the bench for their home game with basement side Cleve.

Sean Bennett returns to inside centre after injury, replacing Jon Gallagher who has moved to Bridgwater & Albion, and he is partnered by Sam Saunders who replaces James Reid who plays in the United at Wellington.

After some good displays in the United and from the bench, Jamie Rudkin gets his first start at openside flanker in place of Gavin Simpson who also plays at Wellington in the United.

The bench sees Ed Hunt return from a long time out after travelling and surgery, it also gives Rich Bignall his first involvement after training with Weston for a month and signing from Coventry while Jack Conway returns from injury.

Weston's chairman of rugby Mark Philp said: "Cleve are our nearest visitors, apart from Bridgwater, and this is very much a derby game. They will not be happy with their start to the season and will be working hard to gain a victory on Saturday afternoon.

"They are a very proactive club and will be making moves to strengthen their squad and move away from the bottom half of the table. Historically we are very even and this game will be close, but we have a good side out and will be making every effort to halt our run of three defeats."

Greg Setherton, who was injured during the warm-up for last week's 38-12 at home to Chinnor, starts at outside centre for Cleve and is joined by Takura Madamombe while Steve Bath, who failed a late fitness test last week, starts at full back.

Shack Ajuwa, who was sent off after only ten minutes, on his return to the Cleve side after two years due to a bad leg fracture, for an alleged dangerous tackle but again starts this week on the left wing while recent signing Gareth Knox is at fly-half.

Weston-super-Mare (home v Cleve, 2.30pm): Joe Waterman; Kirk Middlemiss, Sam Saunders, Sean Bennett, Paul Sprague; James Mackay, Ross Bennett; Dave Swann, Dave Burge, S Doneghan, Andy Richards, Ash Russell, George Wright, Jamie Rudkin, George Sparks (capt).
