GLOUCESTERSHIRE under-20s will play both of their home County Championship group games in Lydney.

The county team – coached this season by former Cinderford player Mike Panoho – will play Devon at Regentsholme this Sunday, February 19 (2.30pm), and Somerset at the same ground on Sunday March 4.

The county boys kicked off the defence of their championship title with a 37-22 win over Cornwall in Camborne.
