A big game for both teams as they try to increase the gap between them and the bottom three. Sandal sit closest team to Kendal just three points behind, after a big win against Birkenhead Park last weekend. So a win for them will probably see them go above us, whilst a Kendal win will extend that gap.

Sandal are having a mixed season, They started with a good double bonus point two point loss to Preston Grasshoppers, but then suffered 40+ point losses to both Harrogate and Lymm, and could only draw with Morley, giving them two of their three points so far (we contributed they other through a try scoring bonus point a fortnight ago)

This was however followed by a losing bonus point against Billingham (which we did not achieve last weekend), and a good win against Ilkley, followed by the losses to Wirral, and another 40+ against Hull, before the win over Birkenhead Park.

So both sets of supporters will probably be wondering which of their teams will turn up

TEAM : More reshuffles. Robbie Collinson comes in for Garry Holmes, whilst Dom Musetti returns, with Glen Chesher starting on the bench. The back five is as last weekend
Behind the pack Nathan Wooff comes in at outside half, with Glen Weightman replacing Chris Park at fullback. Kris Bratton is back on the wing, so Brett Ashley moves to the bench. Matty Houghton is also named on the bench.

WEATHER : Cloudy but dry
