THURROCK RFC will renew rivalry with neighbours Southend in this afternoon's London and South East Regional 2 Anglia clash.

It promises to be the toughest test of the year so far for Tees, who last week beat Saffron Walden 27-12 to ensure they stayed fifth in the table.

However, they will need to be at the best to beat Saxons who are the current leaders and who produced a convincing 35-12 win at Oakfield in September.

If you can't get to the match (KI2pm) iy will be available to watch on stream via this link.

Tomorrow (Sunday, 17 December) Thurrock T-Birds will be in action at Old Albanians Ladies.

It's a clash of the top two. T-Birds remained top after last week's 31-18 win at Beckenham. It wasn't a match without incident as T-Birds found themselves behind in the early stages and lost two players to yellow cards, but they dominated in the second half to maintain their 100 per cent record.

It will be tested to the maximum by Old Albanians who will be looking to avenge a 32-22 defeat at Oakfield in September.
