Fri 23 May 2025 15:30

Hornets' second row Tom Bailey will lead the Somerset side that will face champions Yorkshire at Brantingham Park, the home of Hull Ionians RFC, on Saturday (May 23) in the Bill Beaumont County Championship, Division 1 Pool 1, match, kick-off at 3 pm.

Fellow Hornets players joining Bailey in the starting line-up are prop Tom Read, flanker Don Farmer, scrum-half Kieran Tasker, and full-back Charlie Carter, while Jack Parkinson and Owen Griffiths are on the replacements bench.

This will be Yorkshire's first game in this season's competition, while Somerset lost 24-17 to Lancashire at Weston-super-Mare RFC last weekend.  

Then, on Saturday, May 31, it will be the battle of the Roses – and a repeat of last season's County final, when Lancashire will host Yorkshire at Fylde RUFC, kick-off again at 3 pm.
