In Durham and Northumberland 2 newly crowned champions Acklam are now aiming to keeptheir unbeaten record going to the end of the season as they entertain Richmondshire. The visitors have been struggling near the foot of the table, however they belied their lowly league position when they were just pipped 19-17 by Acklam earlier in the season.
In the Acklam pack Tim Savage returns to the second row and Louwen Labonete continues at openside. Behind the scrum full back Dean Roberts is available so Brad Gater moves to the wing with Andy Dunn playing in the centre.
