Match Preview

Acklam travel up to Newcastle to take on Novocastrians.

WIth 2 places and 2 wins between the clubs , Acklam although lower placed in the league, have 120 point scoring and 35 points defensively better points record. It will make for a great contest.

Selection is without Nathan Thompson & Marcus Sudron due to availability rather than injury, which is consoling despite their absence as we head to the tail end of the season and final placements in the league become paramount.

Alex Faint returns to outside centre with Paul 'Pedro' Roberts taking up the inside channel. The options outside are bolstered with both Jacob Robinson & Josh Abraham starting.

George Reeves comes in at second row with Xander Collins. The front row is the familiar reliable 3some of Wills Pearson & Skipper Bobo. WiIlls has been an invaluable acquisition this season his enjoyment of the game is plain to see when playing.

Ko is now 3pm and support is highly appreciated
