The Ravens got their 2010/11 campaign off to a winning start back in October, securing a bonus point 32-12 win over Swansea at St. Helen's, but they lost out to Bedford their Goldington Road venue last month.

With the Ravens' home tie against Moseley postponed prior to Christmas due to the weather, the side, managed by Gary Longwell, will be looking to get their campaign back on track this Friday night when they take on Neath at Shaw's Bridge.

A number of players who have recently lined out for the senior team will feature - Jamie Smith, Tommy Seymour, Luke Marshall and Craig Gilroy in the backs, and Andi Kyriacou, Jerry Cronin, Neil McComb, Ryan Caldwell and Thomas Anderson in the forwards.

The replacements bench also includes the Connacht-bound Niall O'Connor and Mark McCrea.

Shaw's Bridge was designated as the venue for this game to ensure that the Ravenhill surface is in its best possible condition for Ulster's Heineken Cup showdown with Biarritz Olympique on Saturday.
