Colchester Rugby Club are fit and raring to go after a week off.

Following a free weekend Colchester will be hosting Old Priorians in London League division one north today.

The Mill Road side have been stamping their authority on the division and sit second in the table, three points behind Eton Manor.

Colchester have won eight of their nine games, losing only to the leaders by a point on the opening day of the season.

A depleted Colchester took a bonus point victory in their last fixture but were run close at Barkingside 34-29, after a number of big score wins.

First team coach Anthony O’Riordan said: “It was good to have the week off regardless of our injuries.

“Our results and performances over the start of the season have been brilliant.

“It was a well-earned rest last weekend for the boys."
