Last year’s beaten finalists have failed to recreate their form in the competition so far this season, slipping to defeats to Newcastle and Newport so far this season. As a result, they are now unable to qualify for the quarter finals.

Greg Woods names a strong side for tomorrow’s clash despite their situation in the pool.

Keys back Luke Ford returns in the centre following a few weeks out with a shoulder injury whilst exciting young prospect Scott Matthews is given a rare start at open side with skipper Rob Nash rested on the bench.

Dorian Jones again starts on the wing for Keys with Kristian Baller being troubled by a hamstring problem. Also set to return after a spell on the sidelines through injury is prop James Johnstone who is named on the bench.

Cross Keys: 15 Gareth David 14 Dorian Jones 13 Leon Andrews 12 Luke Ford 11 Luke Williams 10 Steffan Jones 9 Ryan James, (c)1 Richard Cornock 2 Gerwyn Price 3 Anthony Lott 4 Danny Hodge 5 Ollie Hodge 6 Tom Lampard 7 Scott Matthews 8 Adam Powell.
Replacements: James Johnstone, Garry Horrigan, Craig Gould, Sean Higgins, Rob Nash, Rhys Dyer, Dean Gunter.
