Saturday sees P&S make the journey down to Hartlepool to face a TDSOB side who are renowned for being a strong opponent with a forward dominated game plan.

This will be the first time the sides have faced each other after the game at Stocksfield in late October was called off for unforeseen circumstances by the visitors. Currently our hosts sit one place below ourselves in 9th having won 3 games this season. In their most recent match they were beaten 19-50 by a competent Houghton side.

This week P&S are strengthened as Yannick Debil has recovered from the injury that saw him miss last week. Will Foster, Ryan Chamberlain and Adam Murphy will continue to form the front row looking to continue to dominate the set piece. John Robson, Kieran Taylor and Karl Main are also available meaning Coach Russell has some tough selections to make.

In the back line, a relatively unchanged line up from last week as only Jonny Nevin is unavailable. That could mean a reshuffle with Danny Whiley and Raj Kingman the options to wear the 15 shirt.

Kick off is at 2.15 away at TDSOB and as always any support would be greatly appreciated.
