The last two visits to Birkenhead Park have seen big home victories. This season Birkenhead Park are already relegated back to the Division they came up from as play-off winners last season, and only have three wins, but last weekend ran Ilkley close with only a one point win. At the game at Mintbridge, a late comeback on the 3G pitch saw them coming close to victory.

The battle for the seventh place we currently hold could not be much closer, with three teams tied on 52 points and a fourth just one point behind. After this weekend we have a home game against Ilkley who are one of the other three, then finish away at Billingham. Kirkby are at Hull, then finish at home to Birkenhead Park, whilst Ilkley finish with three away games starting at Lymm and finishing at Rosendale. Wirral a point further back have a home game against Rossendale, then finish looking for a second away victory of the season at Pocklington.

So a good performance and win this weekend could be vital to maintain our current spot just above mid-table

TEAM : Not selected yet, but the Good News is it sounds as if Kris Bratton may make it, but we may need a new back row man as Jacob Sutton probably won’t

WEATHER : Cloudy but dry
