Wellington also face third-placed Sedbergh at Broadstreet (kick off 6pm) on Tuesday followed by a trip to fifth-placed Epsom College on Saturday week. Hampton, who have had an injury-hit autumn, have the squad to test Wellington. They raised confidence by defeating St Benedict’s, in a curtain-raiser to the Ealing-Hartpury National League clash, last Saturday. A try from flanker Chris Penton proved the difference for Hampton in an 11-8 victory. Full-back Will Attfield also kicked two penalties. Sedbergh, who have five players in national training squads, are putting together a strong pack led by the consistency of back-rower Freddie Renwick.
