Flanker Sean Bannister is an injury doubt for Banbury's Midlands 3 East play-off match at Ilkeston.

Bannister is struggling to be fit after coming off against Daventry last week.

If he is ruled out, Will Brooks will take his place with Dave Phipps coming in as a replacement.

Simon Purnell takes over at fly half, Tony Hurst moves to scrum half and Dyfrig Davies is on the bench.

Ilkeston finished second in Midlands 3 East North with four more points than Banbury, which gives them home advantage tomorrow.

They also defeated Ashfield 146-0 in their last game, so are in great form.

Player-coach Purnell said: "It's been a bit of a struggle for us at the end of the season and having the matches spread out hasn't helped.

"Maybe the league need to look at that in the future.

"We couldn't plan for the play-offs really. We had to put everything into last Saturday's game, but hopefully we can finally get across the promotion line."
