Round 2 of OCSL play sees fifth-placed Ottawa Royals (0-1-0) make the long trip to Blackburn Hamlet to face seventh-placed Gloucester Hornets (0-0-1).
Gloucester is a young side in transition, speedy and aggressive, with enough capability to worry many sides in the league. In their first match out, the Hornets were involved in a dramatic 3-2 defeat to the Internationals, a game in which the visiting Internationals side had three players red-carded (although two came late in the game and did not really affect the outcome).
Gloucester also had its talisman Jason Da Costa sent off, which means he will most likely miss the game against the Royals.
The Royals came through its opening-day test against Capital United well, but will be looking to avoid the same defensive errors that saw them concede two goals and a penalty.
Long-term injury carriers Greg Donnard and Dimitri Koutras are now back in training. Ewan Lyttle and Marc Labrom both did light runs on Thursday night and are rated very doubtful for the game.
