Match Preview

Acklam host second in the league Durham City this Saturday at Talbot Park. Durham are showing to be as usual, strong at this level. Acklam have demonstrated resolve & resilience in themselves, as shown last week. In the meeting earlier this season at Hollow Drift, despite an unflattering score line Acklam came away with a bonus point having targeted 4 tries. They will surely be steeling themselves to improve on the rewards from this game.

Theo Guilnard is injured however Daniel Moss has now recovered from his tussle with a forklift, and partners Tim Savage in second row. This allows Patrick O'Brien to move in to the back row where he can create more havoc for Durham City. Andrew Dalton comes up from last week starting on the bench to fill the number 8 booth. The backs maintain some continuity remaining with last weeks selection.

The bench is occupied by Ben Pearson and Theo La Bonette , Andy Goode should be available if he makes it in time from being measured for a shower cap.
