The tension is off for the next couple of weekends. Lets get to Billesley and support the lads and relax a little because it will all start again on the 26th when we go to the Knights. It's normally a great atmosphere when the Welsh are in town, so lets give them a good welcome but show them what true supporters are made of. Lets be vocal. Come on you Mooooose and Mose Fans.
Following last week’s heavy defeat against high-flying Newcastle Falcons in the League, Moseley turn to Cup business with the visit of Llanelli to Billesley Common.
By coincidence the West-Walians were also losing to the leaders of their League last week, but have nevertheless enjoyed a fruitful start to the season with four wins.
Fixtures between these two clubs were mouth-watering affairs in the 1970s and 80s, both sides being replete with international players of the highest class. There may well be some future internationals on view tomorrow as there is still a crucial feed from Llanelli to the regional side Llanelli Scarlets.
The Moseley side shows five changes from last week.
Head Coach Kevin Maggs said “we have several enforced absences, but are also using the Cup matches to try out new combinations and give valuable game time to those in our squad who need it. I am confident in the team we have selected, and am looking forward to what should be a cracking cup-tie.”
