Moorends Thorne Marauders will be making a 100 mile round trip to take on Pennine Premier Division outfit Huddersfield St Josephs in the next round of the Yorkshire Cup this coming Saturday (15th/Oct/2011).

St Joes will be the toughest test so far for the young Marauders who are still going through the re-building stage after losing several senior players to the armed forces and retirement.

The coaching staff also have a serious injury and work commitment problem but will be looking at shuffling players about to try and balance the side.
