The run of tough fixtures continues, after run away leaders Preston, and fourth place Harrogate, it is an away trip to second place Lymm, who have yet to be beaten at home this season.
Certain by far the most improved team this season, they finished 4 points behind Kendal last season, but this season are already 24 ahead with two games to re-arrange in hand (one of which is against third place Hull)
The game at Mintbridge, was spoilt by a very strong wind and rain, and both teams had chances to win, but the draw was probably the right result on the day. They have also drawn away at Billingham, and their only loses have come at Preston Grasshoppers and Wirral.
Last weekend they had a narrow 5v14 away win at Birkenhead Park – but we all know what happened last time we faced a team with a narrow win against Park.
TEAM : Another settled team, with the only change upfront being the unexpected availability of Will Montgomery, who has been given permission to play by Newcastle Falcons. Behind the pack Mike Fearon drops out and Kris Bratton moves into the centre, Dini Noyo back to the wing and Matty Kaye makes a first start at scrum half since Wirral in late November. Robbie Collinson replaces Chris Park on the bench.
WEATHER : The forecast is Wet (but it was last week – and it was wrong !)
