Rochford Hundred return to action in London One North tomorrow when they host Eton Manor.
Twelfth placed Rochford go in to the game on the back of four straight defeats.
But they will be hoping to return to winning ways against a Manor side just three places above them in the standings.
However, as they bid to get back on track, Rochford will be without both skipper Tom Ashton and Dan Bracknell.
That means Michael Stemp will come in to the centre to partner Matt Stewart who takes over as captain while Simon Webb will step in to cover for Bracknell at scrum half.
Hooker Tom Corbet returns from injury as does flanker George Chipper and full-back Robert Prior, much to the delight of Rochford’s first team manager Graham Pratt.
“Apart from missing the point scoring ability of Tom Ashton the side is looking as strong as it has been for a number weeks and the lads are in a positive mood,” said Pratt.
“With home advantage and a big crowd behind us we hope we can use this week as a springboard for a change of fortune.”
Also in London One North, league leaders Thurrock host seventh placed Old Colefians while in London Two North East, second placed Basildon travel to Enfield, who sit third in the standings.
Ninth placed Canvey Island have a tough looking task at home to table topping Romford and Gidea Park and, in London Three North East, South Woodham Ferrers, who are seventh, head to ninth placed Sudbury.
In Essex One, unbeaten leaders Billericay will look to extend their fine run of results when they host fourth placed Bancroft and Pegasus Palmerians travel to Clacton.In Essex Two, Stanford le Hope are at home to Brightlingsea.
