This Saturday will be a tough encounter for Mowden after Esher's impressive win over Blackheath at Molesey road. Esher will be looking to notch another victory,at home, this weekend over 2nd placed Mowden. However, Mowden's encouraging victory over Plymouth Albion last weekend means we will be looking to continue our own run of form. Both teams with momentum in their favour should result in an exciting display.
