Henley Hawks head coach Nigel Dudding is looking to bow out on a high tomorrow in his last game in charge at Dry Leas.
Although already relegated, the visit of Penzance & Newlyn will be an emotional day for Dudding, who has spent 30 years at the club as player and coach.
The final game of the National Division 1 season pits Dudding against good friend and a former colleague at Henley, Jim McKay, who is now head coach at Penzance.
The Hawks will face the Pirates with the same line-up that won in vain against Rotherham last Saturday, which means no place for injured duo Jim Hamilton-Smith and Dave Park.
Ian Gibbons will cover as hooker and the promising James Jones, who has made four starts for the Hawks, will again take Park's place.
The Pirates have an exciting back division led by Welshman Lee Jarvis at fly-half, an accurate place kicker, the highly-rated centre Wade Kelly (ex-Orrell) and an explosive running full back, Wes Davies.
Henley Hawks (v Penzance & Newlyn, home): Bellinger, Obi, Tibbott, James, Davies, Honeyben, Smaje, Laffin, Hopcroft, Johnstone (Capt), Winterbottom, Harris, Gates, Holloway, Lubans. Reps: Fuller, Gibbons, Jones, Hayman, Gaunt, Van Zyl, Burns.
