Match Preview

Carlisle have a 50% record this season, with good home wins against Widnes and Broughton Park, sandwiching losses on the road at Rochdale and Penrith.

Last season this fixture saw the end of Kendal's opening winning streak, but a month two late Dini Noyo tries gave Kendal a spectacular victory in the Cup.

A unchanged back division has been named, but upfront Liam Hayton moves up to replace Richard Harryman, whilst it is an all new second row with James Thompson moving up from the back row and Ben Leacock returning to replace Phil Murphy. Matty Houghton returns in the back row. On the bench Chris Park replaces Mark Carruthers.
