Malcolm White replaces the unavailable Paul Harrow at Scrum-Half while Gavin Cunningham controls the backs from 10.
Aaron Wright (sponsored by CB EnviroMental Services) returns to Outside Centre joined by Jonny “Gravy” Gray ready to start the engines.
In the backline, new 2019 recruit Keiran Fultan and Club Treasurer Michael MacLugash (sponsored by Greig Engineering Ltd) inject some speed on the wings while Full-Back Jamie Stephen (sponsored by Allied International) by tidies up the rear.
We have a powerful bench with a lot of experience this week featuring James Dooley, Mike Mackie, Club Captain Steven Cook, Grant Lafferty, Iain Irvine, Duncan Angus and Declan Coutts.
Whether it’s home or away, support will always boost a team so why not take a wee day trip west to Banchory?
