Consett placed 3rd in the league will be a challenge to the Talbot Park men, however Acklam's expansive style should provide an entertaining encounter, with both sides enjoying recent wins ( Acklam 2/3 & Consett 3/4).

Consett's threat from their open side flanker, their top scorer (Williams - 11) and their Full back kicking machine (Cook - 119 points) must be nullified but with Acklam's back division boasting pace and flair with the return of Dunn and Roberts and the formidable breakdown work of Ffitch, pure athleticism of O'brien all guided by the wiley Chambers all points towards an opportunity for Acklam to take something from their travels.
