Match Preview

The season draws to a close this Saturday with a home fixture that the Vulcans must win with a bonus point to stand any chance of remaining in DN2 for 2018-19.

The turnaround since the start of the year has been stark, prior to Xmas it was nailed on that DN3 was the only option for next season with only 1 win and a draw from 12 games. Contrast the 2018 results which show 5 wins and 1 draw from 13 games, with 3 losses within 10 points but alas no losing bonus points!

This Saturday sees the visit of bottom club Newton Aycliffe who started very well but have tailed off lately, they beat Winlaton on the first day of the season 33-15. A 5 point win is a must and even then we are hoping our only rivals for safety, Richmondshire, get 3 points or less from their 3 remaining games at Ashington and North Shields and finishing at home vs promotion chasing WB Rockcliff.

Coach Rollie Wills will hopefully have a top class squad of players available to choose from with as many as possible available and vying for one of the slots in the team.

Good Luck Boys!
