The Met travel to Caterham this weekend for a top of the table clash with Old Caterhamians. Both sides have recorded four victories from the first five fixtures, although Cats have collected one more try bonus point to sit one place above the Met, second behind Old Wimbledonians. Cats lost heavily to Old Wimbledonians last Saturday, ending their 100% record and decimating their points differential.

The Met's record in this fixture is not the best. There have been five league meetings to date, with the Met's last victory in 2017. On average, the old boys have been victorious 44-17. Cats consolidated their position in Surrey 2 last season after consecutive promotions, finishing a distant third behind Old Haileyburians and Old Rutlishians. No8 Oscar Nye has been club captain for several seasons.

The Met welcome back Sam Bailey at hooker, Ned Grabner returns in the second row, giving Steve Routledge a rare weekend off. James Brown replaces Conor Finch in the back three and the bench is stacked with newcomers, Dean Barnard, Dan Dacre and Jack Court.
