Match Preview

This is the "game in hand" over Wilmslow and Kirkby Lonsdale, so a win will take Kendal to the top of the table.

After being pace setters in the last two seasons, Widnes have struggled this season and are currently at the foot of the table 13 points a drift of Blackburn in the last position of safety, but they are capable of an upset having beaten Warrington in late January, so it is another potential banana skin to be overcome.

With the Kirkby game currently re-arranged to be the final game of the season, it looks as if the League could go to the wire, so every win, league point and try could be vital.

TEAM : A few changes this week. Robbie Collinson makes a first appearance of the season at hooker, Ben Leacock partners Phil Murphy in the second row, with Liam Hayton moving to the back row, with Jack Morphet and James Thompson.

The back division is more settled, with Chris Park moving to fullback and Nathan Wooff to the bench. Matty Houghton moves onto the left wing and Mark Carruthers to the right, with Zane Butler retaining his spot in the centre.

REPORTER WANTED : If you are going to the game, I think we are still looking for someone to put some notes together for the match report. With Kirkby not playing it should even make the Gazette (who seem rather obsessed by Kirkby this season).
