ANOTHER trip to the outskirts of London faces Kendal, who are bound on Saturday for Rosslyn Park, a famous name and still a big club, turning out eight or nine sides a week.

The Roehampton side suffered their first defeat in four starts when beaten 31-10 at Rugby last Saturday, and with Nottingham having beaten Rugby 15-12 the week before, the form book suggests Kendal are not without a chance.

Flanker Colin Wolstenholme (groin injury) is still out and Kendal are unchanged from last Saturday's starting line-up, with Nigel Pearson coming back on the bench after a run-out with the Seconds.

The coach leaves Kendal CC, Shap Road, on Friday at 5pm.

Kendal's Director of Rugby Chris Hayton said:" It's clear that we are having to treat every molehill as a mountain and prepare accordingly."

"Mental attitude is crucial and we will have to maintain concentration and focus all the way through matches week in week out.

"It will be the difference between winning and losing."

He said Saturday's performance was a big turn-around from the last home game against Harrogate and confirmed the promise of some of things the side began to do at Lydney last week.

"It's a confidence thing," he added, "but the Nottingham win tell us us what we are doing is right and that we have the playing staff with the right skills and attributes to do what we want.

"It's fair to say that it was a comfortable win in the end - once we took away their space they looked an ordinary side."

Coach Peter Kremer:"The team had its pride stung and this was their answer.

"It's a great testament to the approach of the club that, without saying we have cracked it, in four weeks the side has changed its approach and techniques to cope with the problems."
