After yet another loss last week now put behind them after an effective training session on Tuesday evening; this Saturday the men in maroon will be making the short journey to local rivals Aireborough for a derby match. Last time out Burley beat Aireborough at home 29-10 in the YST in the first game of the season, so that, along with other past history adds an interesting dynamic to this match-up. The weather forecast is for highs of 12C with a chance of rain but also some sunshine.

Meet time of 1230 sharp for a kick-off of 1415. £4 match subs (fines for lateness) as well as annual subs of £33 (£25 with no shorts and socks) which are now well overdue as well. A white or blue shirt should be worn along with a club tie. Polo Shirts are now available for those that ordered them priced at £12.

There is no 2nd XV fixture this weekend, but there is one the following week on Saturday 29th November against Old Modernians at home; so make your availability known to Captain Kanabar on 07917 074412 ASAP.
