A full house at Port-e-Chee awaits Altrincham Kersal as Douglas look to continue a rivalry stretching back to the 2017 North One West league.
There’s been a bit of water under the bridge since, much literally as the February 2022 edition was washed out, and the last match between the two in January this year at Port-e-Chee was a 14-0 win based on ruthless Douglas defence.
With AK in 6th, and although recording a better points difference, Douglas in 9th will want to up the offensive ante on the back of an occasionally dominant scrum where Conor Garland is making big strides.
Port e Chee Welcome
A fitness test awaits Percy Hampton and Mark Oldfield, Liam Kirkpatrick returns to the back row, and coach Cringle will be juggling resources as Charlie Henthorn, Brendan Kelly and James Ross vie for outfield positions.
Nathan Robson could take his first Port-e-Chee league bow at number 9, and if Douglas fire on all cylinders, a successful one.
The match will kick-off at 2:15pm on Saturday (October 19).
