Novos take on Sunderland this Saturday as pre-season looks to heat up.

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
- Stephen Wright

The Vos are looking to continue their good start to pre season with a victory over Sunderland. Novos last played the Ashbrooke club last August in another pre season friendly game, with a Jonny Ward brace and Carl Parkinson try securing a 19-12 victory (video link from this game provided!). This paved way for a great start to the 15-16 season with the opening 6 games of the season won.

Novos will certainly be hoping for a case of deja vu again this season in an attempt to replicate 2015-16. The game will be split into three, 30 minute thirds, to test the lads' fitness levels after 6 weeks of training. The squad chosen for the game is as follows:

G.Antons, Bass, S.Bird, Burgess, Busby, Chater, Dodd, Dodds, A.Duncan, R.Duncan, Fearon, Goodman, Igoe, Kelly, Melrose, Menzfeld, Merrett, Nash, O'Connell, C.Parkinson, Selkirk, B.Smith, Sorenson, Stewart, Twentyman, Wilkes, Whittaker, Wright.

Novos will certainly be hoping for a case of deja vu again this season and will look to replicate that with another victory on Saturday. Kick off is 15:00, with a 14:00 meet for the above squad.
