MATT Goode hopes his county teammates at Oxford Harlequins can do title-chasing Banbury a favour tomorrow – but they must also keep their side of the bargain.

Second-placed Bulls travel to Oxfordshire rivals Witney in the last weekend of the regular season, having secured a play-off spot in South West 1 East.

Banbury, who trail Old Patesians by four points, still have a shot at the title.

But they must earn a bonus-point win at Witney and hope the leaders fail to pick up anything at Harlequins.

“We had county training on Wednesday, so (Quins flanker, Allan) Purchase and a few of the boys were there and we wished them the best of luck,” said Goode.

“We hope they give them nothing.

“There’s a slight chance that Pats will slip up and if we do enough to get five points we would top the table.

“That would be a dream, but we’re not counting our chickens.”

“Witney are a team we will not be taking for granted.”

Tug Wilson makes one change to the starting XV for the visit of Bulls, with Matt Read coming in to the front row.

Quins, who play at Marston Ferry Road for the final time ahead of their move to Horspath, call up Callum Cashman.

Grove hand a debut to Alludin Bet-El-Mal for their trip to Swindon, while Bicester visit Wimborne.

Meanwhile, Chinnor head to Canterbury in National League 2 South knowing just one point will secure a home play-off against the North runners-up.

They make eight changes, two positional, with Nick Bingham, Tom Price, Jack Gilding, Alex Bradley, Greg Goodfellow and Alex Dancer returning.

Director of rugby Matt Williams said: “It doesn’t matter what time of the year it is, Canterbury away is a horrible game.

“They are a very good team at home.

“They will do everything they can to finish their season off with a win against one of the top two.”

Henley Hawks host London Irish Wild Geese, handing starts to George Primett, Toby Venner, Toby Howe and Tommy Haynes.
