BILLIG
TO MAKE RETURN IN TROPHY (February 15 2007)
Pertemps Bees winger Adam Billig will make his delayed comeback from a broken
thumb in the EDF Energy National Trophy fifth round tie against Nuneaton at Sharmans
Cross Road on Saturday February 17 (2pm).
The former Leicester and Bristol player sustained his injury in the defeat at
Nottingham on January 7 and was due to make his comeback against Nuneaton last
Saturday but the tie was postponed because of a snowbound pitch.
Billig's return will allow Matt Nuthall to switch from the wing to replace full-back
Matt Nuthall who is unavailable for the Trophy having played for Gloucester in
the EDF Energy Cup earlier in the season.
England sevens flanker Will Matthews will be selection this week having recovered
from a hamstring problem which prevented him from playing in the National League
One win over Plymouth Albion two weeks ago.
Matthews would not have been fit to face Nuneaton had the tie gone ahead as scheduled
last weekend.
The winners of Saturday's game will travel to play Newbury in the quarter-finals
on March 3.
