RUGBY: Burnham ready for basement battle

AFTER a weekend off last time out, Burnham-on-Sea face a crunch encounter at the bottom of Western Counties West as they welcome fellow strugglers Crediton on Saturday. Just two points separate the bottom four sides in the division, with Burnham currently fourth-bottom with 31 points and their mid-Devon visitors loitering one place above the foot of the table on 29. Crediton comfortably defeated Tiverton 43-12 a fortnight ago, while Burnham were heavily beaten 39-5 at St Ives, so the visitors will be confident of claiming the victory they need to leapfrog their hosts.
