PROPS Ethan Pawadyira and former Berkshire Under 20s man Harry Etwell return to the Centaurs side as they head to Tadley for a top-of-the-table encounter this afternoon (2pm).

The duo are joined in the Counties Two Tribute Berks, Bucks & Oxon South leaders’ front row by hooker Dave Southworth, last week’s two-try star George Green and Jack Williams behind them.

The regular back row of flankers Mike Duda and prolific try-getter Jedd Paine, along with No. 8 Jordan Talia, are once again united to complete the pack.

Skipper Jack Gaylor and stand-off Cameron George have built an increasingly productive half-back combination, and will look to get the three-quarters flowing again with Alex Griffiths and Matt Rose in midfield.

Dan Bennett swaps from full-back to the wing, with another of the try-scorers against Henley Vikings, Will Young, on the other flank and Tom George rounding out the starting line-up at No. 15.

Replacement front row cover is provided by hooker Fergus MacKenzie, Southworth capable of switching to prop if required, powerful ball-carrier Chris Kessell and Bleddyn Parry.

Among the backs ready to make an impact are Jacob Orbell and the pacy youngster Jacob Richards, with the Mighty Cents searching for a 14th consecutive victory and one which would put them within touching distance of the title.
