Sutton & Epsom manager Willie Moore believes his side are more than capable of promotion to National League Division Three this season.

The team are well placed in London Division One, just three points behind leaders Havant, and travel to third-placed Basingstoke tomorrow.

They will be looking to repeat last Saturday's 25-10 home win over Norwich.

"This is another hard game for the players," said Moore.

"Basingstoke like to play running rugby, but if we can play like we did last week we will do well."

Moore praised his players after running in three tries against Norwich and said: "That was the best per-formance I have seen from a Sutton & Epsom side in years. I was delighted with all aspects of our game. Everyone did their job and we did not make any mistakes."

Sutton number eight Roger Edwin will miss the next two games as he is on duty with the Royal Navy, so Andy Hall will deputise for him.

Moore is also sweating on the availability of flanker James Clark, who is away teaching schools rugby in Kent.
