Osutokun and Jackson return as Devon Ladies look to finish as group runners-up

PLYMSTOCK Albion Oaks winger Tunrayo Osutokun and Plymouth Albion prop Issy Jackson return to the Devon side for their final Women’s County Championship group match against Berkshire at Maidenhead on Sunday (3pm).

The pair started Devon’s opening game against Gloucestershire, which they won 32-24, but missed last week’s defeat to reigning champions Surrey.

Berkshire, like Devon, have beaten Gloucestershire but lost to Surrey, so Sunday’s match will decide who finishes as runners-up in the Pool Four.

Jackson is once again joined in the Devon squad by her Albion team-mates Lilly Goddard, Megan Higgins, Caitlin Short, Donna Downes and Tilly Higgie.
