Match Preview

Castleford Away is this week's 1st XV fixture, which promises to be another test for Aire. However, despite the relative league positions, the tight Yorkshire 3 table and Aire's performance in the home fixture vs Cas earlier in the season mean this should be a tighter affair than the 6 league positions between the sides would suggest.

Indeed, the form guide shows Castleford have lost their last 3. Having gotten off to a decent start this year winning their first 5 games, the last of which was against Aire at Nunroyd, the home side have since slumped to win only 4 of their last 11 in the league.

Aireborough's first two outings post Christmas have ended in disappointment, and with both sides looking to inject life back into their respective seasons, this promises to be a hard-fought encounter.
