MATCH PREVIEW: TAUNTON TITANS v CLIFTON

Titans welcome Clifton to Summerfield for a special Armed Forces Day fixture

The Taunton Titans return to Summerfield Stadium this Saturday as they welcome Clifton in what promises to be a tough National 2 West encounter. With kick-off at 3pm, the Titans will be looking to put recent results behind them and produce a strong performance against one of the division's leading sides.

A SPECIAL ARMED FORCES DAY

This Saturday is also our annual Armed Forces Day at Summerfield Stadium. We are proud to recognise and celebrate the men and women who serve, and have served, in our Armed Forces, and to show our appreciation for their dedication and sacrifice.

The Titans will be wearing a special one-off Armed Forces Day match shirt, with the shirts being auctioned off after the game to raise money for our chosen charities. We look forward to welcoming serving personnel, veterans, families and supporters to join us for a special day at the club.

TITANS LOOKING TO BOUNCE BACK

It has been a challenging few weeks for Taunton, with defeats against Hinckley, Cinderford and Old Redcliffians following an excellent start to the campaign.

The Titans have shown plenty of quality this season, particularly in attack, with memorable victories over Exeter University, Hornets and Lymm demonstrating what the squad is capable of.

Now back at Summerfield, the focus will be on rediscovering the form and confidence that saw Taunton win five of their opening six matches.

A strong start, better discipline and making the most of attacking opportunities will be key if the Titans are to get back to winning ways.

CLIFTON ARRIVE IN FORM

Clifton will provide a formidable challenge. They have enjoyed an impressive start to the season and will arrive in Taunton looking to maintain their position among the league's leading sides.

With plenty of attacking threat and confidence behind them, Clifton will be a tough test for the Titans. Taunton will need to be at their best defensively and match Clifton's physicality, particularly at the set-piece and breakdown.

AN IMPORTANT AFTERNOON AT SUMMERFIELD

Saturday represents a significant challenge for the Titans, but also an opportunity to make a statement against one of the division's strongest teams.

The squad has already demonstrated its ability to compete and score tries against quality opposition. Bringing that attacking ambition together with defensive consistency for the full 80 minutes will be essential.

With home support behind them, Taunton will be determined to put in a performance that gives supporters plenty to get behind, while making it a memorable occasion for everyone attending Armed Forces Day.
