Match Preview

Trafford MV welcome Tarleton 1st XV to MacPherson Park on Saturday for a 2.15pm kick off. Both teams come into the game on the back of narrow defeats with Tarleton losing at Bolton 21-15 and MV having lost at Keswick 15-10 prior to last weekends postponed game.
MV are please to see no 8 Danny Burke returning to action following a couple of weeks out the rest of the team is pretty much unchanged.

Tarletons recent for has been sporadic with a seemingly win at home lose away pattern - however this should not be taken for granted - Tarleton are a good side and will be putting in a good game.

MV's for has been a bit more rigid with 4 straight defeats followed by 7 wins and then a lack lustre loss - the run of good form needs to be MV's target as they close off 2017.

MV's 2nd XV head north to Burnley while the 3rd XV will hope to get a full 80 minute game from visitors Wilmslow following last weekends poor concession of defeat from Manchester 3rds with 20 minutes to go. Not the spirit of Rugby !
