Following a two week lay off - we return back to the pitch this weekend with a home fixture against Thornton Cleveleys - a team who we have had some great battles with over the years. Thornton were promoted with us last season and they find themselves mid table in 3 North with some decent scalps to their name during the season. The game at Thornton earlier in the season saw Carnforth in control but a spate of yellow cards saw Thorntons 15 men gain a 3 man advantage and almost pull of a great comeback but Carnforth claimed victory 29 - 22 - this made the beer taste better on our trip back to the Ashley Club as we sampled the Thornton hospitality.
Alasdair Boyle makes a return to the club to be in charge of the game, Craig and Julie Walker from Greenlands Farm Village are todays sponsors - we thank them for their continued support.
We welcome the Thornton players, officials and supporters to Kellet Road and invite them back to the clubhouse afterwards for the teas and the Wales England game.
