Jersey Flegg Cup Team (Round 7):

Coach Anthony Barnes has named his team, who currently sit 12th on the competition table, to play 14th placed Newcastle Knights at Wentworth Park on Sunday. The match kicks off at 12.30 pm.

Unfortunately, Barnes hasn’t been able to finalise his line-up at this stage with the positions of left centre, hooker, lock and two interchange players to be determined later in the week. One definite out from last week, however, is Kiwi left centre Jackson Stewart, who injured his right shoulder/collarbone mid-way through the second half on Saturday, and did not return to the field.

The team will be finalised at 11.30 am on Sunday.
