The Cherry & Whites face another tough match as they host Ivybridge as 3rd face 4th in National 3 at the REC.
Camborne will be looking to get back to winning ways having lost 4 of the last 7 games after starting the season with 8 straight victories. There's no doubt that off field events over the last month have contributed to the teams loss of form but this has now been compounded with injury and unavailability problems in recent weeks.
Head coach Liam Chapple takes control of his first match at the REC following his return to the club and will be hoping to have more of his senior players back in contention this week. With shortages in the front and back rows Town may need to bring in one or two players if they are to maintain their chace for a top two finish.
Defeats for Old Reds and Ivybridge last week lessoned the impact of the teams loss at Hornets, but they can't afford any more slip ups, especially at home.
Selectors have been forced into more changes with Ben Kemp suffering a broken arm last week whilst Ben Drew and Richie Kevern miss out due to concussion following their clash of heads in the same game. Also Dave Roberts has failed to recover from a knock at Hornets and Neil Stanleick picked up an injury in training.
With Tony Whittle, Cameron Bone, Sam Matavesi already missing from the back row Camborne are forced to make some major changes to their lineup.
On the positive side there's a return for scrum half Taron Peacock which means David Mankee reverts to his prefered fly half role and flying wingman Noah Sixton is back in the lineup. In the pack Malcolm Hearn returns at prop, Damian Cook is back in the second row after missing the Hornets match and there's a first start for new signing Jim Kava at lock. These players will add strength to the pack which was lacking last week.
There is also a home debut for former Cornish Pirate Rhodri Mcatee, the former Welsh 7's star makes a first appearance in the back row and there's a National league debut Nick Wellsted who starts on the bench.
The club are hoping for another big crowd in excess of 500 to get behind the team this weekend, the 16th man has never been needed more than they are on Saturday!
