Thorley Returns

By New Cherry
January 23 2026

Friday night games under the Kingsholm lights used to bring the best out of the Cherry and Whites. The visit of second top Bath this Friday (kick off 7.45) provides the perfect opportunity to make Kingsholm a fortress again.

Getting dumped out of Europe last week means that we are free to conentrate on the proverbial league - in our csse getting away from the bottom.

There's hope with Ollie Thorley back from his ban and Josiah Edwards Giraud back in the centre alongside Seb Atknson.

In the pack Deian Gwynne comes into the second row to partner Matias Alemanno.
