Douglas Travel to Crewe & Nantwich

Douglas will travel to Crewe & Nantwich on Saturday on the back of a defiant performance against title-chasing Bowdon.

The team from Port-E-Chee will be mindful that the hosts won 20-18 over fellow strugglers Winnington Park last week.

Crewe in 11th have Regional Two North West survival in sight, but Eccles below and with a game in hand are only three-points in arrears.

Crewe will be dangerous with their backs to the wall at Newcastle Rd, and Douglas will note their home win against Burnage, albeit earlier in the season. 

Douglas still have Altrincham Kersal within range in 6th, and AK are hosting Vale of Lune who upset the odds with a valuable away win at Sandbach in the last round to sink the Cheshire club’s promotion hopes.

A performance on par with any of their three previous showings could take Douglas up a notch, but it won’t be easy.
