VALKYRS A should be too strong for Falcons this Saturday as they bid to return to winning ways.
They are still in hot pursuit of the runners-up position — a target which is very much within their grasp.
The Vikings first team will battle to the final whistle in their own quest for precious points, but this will not be an easy task. Valiant t
hough their effort might be, it looks set to be a hopeless one!
Another team with a thankless task is the constabulary first team who face the might of the unstoppable Bacchas A.
Mike Griffiths will have to be at his best in goal to thwart the rampaging Tromode forwards.
Bacchas will not have it easy in the defensive department as Dave Kneale will be keen to utilise his deadly finishing skills for the Police. However, his chances might be few and far between in this uneven match-up.
Southern derby time has rolled round again with Celts facing off against Phoenix A.
These sides have enjoyed many such fixtures but alas for Celts they have yet to taste success in a league fixture, with their only win coming in the Cup a good few seasons ago.
John Staines should have a full strength side to call upon for Phoenix, while Barry Mellor has to call up a few players from the lower ranks to fill the vacant positions he has this weekend.
Phil Richardson will have to produce a repeat performance of last week's outstanding goalkeeping display if Bacchas B are to take the maximum points Harlequins A.
This will be a game with a 100 percent effort from both sides. Quins are a very capable side and can, on their day, be a match for most of the teams in this division — so long as they do not lose their discipline.
