Trafford MV are looking forward to much improved weather and pitch conditions following the heavy persistent rain of recent weeks. Although the pitch is likely to be soft in places it should have dried out sufficiently to allow the players from both teams to give a more assured level of performance on Saturday. It looks to be an exciting game for MV players on all teams as fixtures are all against closely matched teams going off league placings.
MV's 1st XV welcome old rivals Aldwinians to MacPherson Park for a 2.15pm kick off and with MV 9th and their opponents 10th a classic fixture should be on the cards. Trafford MV would like to see local sports supporters getting behind their local amateur rugby club and cheering the team on. MV welcome back Matt Coxon into the centre (following his ''international call up!!!!'') whilst the enigma that is Gaz Bevan returns to the squad on the bench. Aldwinians come into the game from a defeat at home by Bolton 12-17 whilst MV are enjoying recent good form shown latterly in a hard fought 21-15 home win over 3rd placed Wigton in heavy conditions.
MV's 2nd XV travel to Preston Grass Hoppers 4th's who are placed just one position above us in the league - another potential thriller !
The 3rd XV play at home against local age old rivals Altrincham Kersal and again the teams are very close in the league with AK 9th and MV 11th.
No internationals this weekend but plenty of post match action around the bar at MV - come on down and show your support for local sport.
