1st XV visit Chorley, Cavaliars to Thornton

The 1st XV have a tough and testing examination at Chorley, and will be looking to avenge thier 3-13 reverse back in October. Even though Chorley lost to Colne last weekend, they still reamin 2 points above Clitheroe.
So Ben Graves' troops will be looking to continue the steady improvement in form of late, to move up the table.

The Cavaliars, also have a stiff challenge at Thornton Cleveleys. Likewise, they also will be looking to avenge a 12-34 defeat at Littlemoor. Thorntons speedy back line plus the dreaded 'uncontested scrums'being a feature of the game. Should be no repeat of that this time however, with Thorntons' 1st XV without a game - there should be props a plenty!
Thornton had an excellent win over rivals Fleetwood in thier last outing and lie just one place above Simon 'Windy' Rawstrons men. - another toughie...
