AFTER a weekend off last time out, Burnham-on-Sea face a crunch encounter at the bottom of Western Counties West as they welcome fellow strugglers Crediton on Saturday.

Just two points separate the bottom four sides in the division, with Burnham currently fourth-bottom with 31 points and their mid-Devon visitors loitering one place above the foot of the table on 29.

Crediton comfortably defeated Tiverton 43-12 a fortnight ago, while Burnham were heavily beaten 39-5 at St Ives, so the visitors will be confident of claiming the victory they need to leapfrog their hosts.

Burnham are out for revenge, however, having lost the reverse fixture 36-12 in November, and they will be hoping to make their home advantage count this time around.

In Somerset Two South, Burnham’s 2nd XV are also back in action after going without a game last weekend.

They are on the road on Saturday as they face struggling Martock.

The hosts have won just once in their 17 league matches so far this season and conceded an average of nearly 46 points per game, so Burnham will be confident of notching up a victory.

Burnham could climb into the top three if they win and third-placed Winscombe slip up at Minehead Barbarians.
