Captain out of opener

GUERNSEY are set to give competitive debuts to three players tomorrow as they begin life in the National Rugby Leagues.

The London One South champions head to Staines to kick off their National Three London & South-East campaign with newcomers Tom Pool, Jason Harvey and Villi Tosi all in the team announced yesterday by coach Jordan Reynolds, although Tosi needs to come through a fitness test on a shoulder injury.

However, Guernsey have to make do without their captain, Blair Campbell, who is currently away, and influential prop Cameron Craine.

'BC being away has been an issue because normally I would just slot in at fly half so we have been trying to work out what's best this week,' said Reynolds, who himself is injured and unlikely to be available for at least another month.
