This week sees a welcome break from league rugby with a trip to Bishop Auckland in the Durham County Junior Cup in a repeat of the 2015 final which our hosts won in extra time.

The teams should be familiar with each other since we met in league action 2 weeks ago at Axwell View with Bishop emerging victorious by a very close 19-14 margin.

This season has been a strange one with so much to be buoyed by yet everyone is left feeling a tad frustrated with results not quite going to plan.

Plus points - lots of new players, strong training numbers (20+) regularly and our only win from five being at neighbours Ryton.

Other Hand -Lost games we could/should have won, wholescale changes to the team weekly and a really tough fixture list early doors.

To be honest we are where we might have expected to be but losing to Houghton and beating Ryton wouldn't have been predicted however losing to Rockcliff and Old Boy's would have been.Lets not get carried away with some eminently winnable fixtures on the horizon after the North Shields game and lots of players becoming available again things will improve.

On today's game, it offers a bit of redemption as most who I've spoken to felt they let the league game slip and this one is an early opportunity to put that one right. Hopefully the coach will have the chance to pick a side with only a few changes and the new players can use it to forge further links with patterns and teamates and we can progress in the cup this year.
