The first team game is a battle of 3rd placed Carnforth versus 2nd placed Clitheroe in a 3 North encounter - the teams are separated by a couple of points in the league standings - this is the rearranged game from earlier in the season when the pitch conditions were deemed unplayable at Kellet Road.
This will be the first league game between the two clubs for a few years - but the history between the us and Clitheroe is second to none - the games over the years in the RFU leagues have been tough encounters but the mutual respect between the clubs is always on show in the clubhouse afterwards. We look forward to the game with Roger and his squad of players who will travel confident of claiming a victory.
Alistair Boyle from Madrefs will be in charge of the game.
June Barton will sponsor the game in memory of ex committee member and player Frank Barton.
