WIVELISCOMBE will be looking to strengthen their position at the top of Counties One Western West when they play at home to Kingsbridge on Saturday, February 28 (2.30p.m.).

The division leaders, who won 27-21 at Kingsbridge in early November, have not lost a game since they went down 21-17 away to Truro almost five months ago.

Since then they have marched on at the top of the table and go into the fixture against Kingsbridge with a five-point lead over second-placed Paignton - and also have a match in hand.

Wiveliscombe still have another eight games to play with a crucial fixture away to Paignton coming up in the middle of next month. They play third-placed Barnstaple at home in April.

Paignton and Barnstaple both have home games on Saturday, February 28. Paignton play St Ives (SW) while Barnstaple entertain Truro.

Paignton gained a hard-earned 44-34 home win over Penryn last weekend, while Barnstaple were 50-12 home winners over St Ives (SW).

Fixtures for Saturday, February 28: Paignton v St Ives (SW), Redruth v Newton Abbot, Torquay Athletic v Penryn, Barnstple v Truro, Plymstock Oaks v Saltash, Wiveliscombe v Kingsbridge.
