Nottingham aim for top-four spot

Glenn Delaney's side are currently fifth in National One

Nottingham are aiming to move back into the top four as they take on Exeter Chiefs in National One on Sunday.

Scrum-half Tim Usasz will return for the Green and Whites' top-of-the-table clash at Meadow Lane after being sidelined with a broken collarbone.

Forwards Nic Rouse and Luke Sherriff also return from a break last weekend.

Chairman Geoff Huckstep said: "It is a must-win game for us as we push for the top four and a potential place in next season's Anglo-Welsh cup."

Huckstep added: "Our place in the newly formed Championship is all but mathematically assured for next season but it is vital that we finish in the top four in order to keep driving the club forward.

"The revenue associated with a place in the Anglo-Welsh Cup next season would make a significant difference to Nottingham Rugby and could ultimately bring Premiership and Celtic League rugby here."

"A place in the top four of National One and a trip to Twickenham to win the final of the EDF National Trophy has got to be our aim this season and the run in starts on Sunday."

Nottingham are currently fifth in the league with 77 points - two points behind fourth-placed Doncaster.
