UNBEATEN USW take on Exeter in their penultimate match of the league campaign, knowing that a win will take them within touching distance of the title.

The Men’s 1st side take on Exeter in a rearranged match and their first back after the Christmas break.

A win will take them to the top of the BUCS Premier South table, overtaking Hartpury 1st’s who sit one point above USW in the table.

With the last game for USW being a 1-1 draw away to Swansea University, coach Steve Savage will want a little bit extra from his players and hope home advantage will give his team an edge.

Bottom of the league Exeter will also be hoping for a change in fortunes and to bounce back after getting a draw in their last game at home to Cardiff Met.

However six points in eight games with just one win must mean Exeter are hoping that some time off will have done them good as they attempt to pull themselves up from the base of the table.

USW’s title rivals Hartpury are not in action, with USW v Exeter the only match being played in the league today.
