CHARD Rugby Club are without a game this weekend, giving welcome recovery time for several players carrying knocks.

However it does now appear now that influential No8 Jim Wagstaff and centre Lee Massey could be out for lengthy spells with knee injuries.

Despite being hit with call-ups from the 1st XV which included their captain and vice- captain Chard 2nds enjoyed a 27-8 victory at home to North Petherton 2nds in Somerset 1.

But the 3rds were beaten 62-0 by their Frome counterparts.

The only game at Chard next Saturday will take place on the main pitch kick off 2pm when a Chard Veterans XV entertains Castle Cary Vets.
