Following last week's disappointment in the local derby against Baildon, Aireborough Crusaders return to Nunroyd Park, where they remain unbeaten this season. This week's opposition North Ribblesdale 2nd XV inflicted an early defeat to Aireborough back in September under difficult conditions, so the Crusaders will want to avenge that this Saturday.

As has been the case in recent weeks, the squad does not lack for forwards but remains light on backs. With an under powered performance last weekend we ask for players to arrive promptly ready for an effective warm-up.

14.15 Kick Off, 13:00 Meet. Warm-up to start at 13:30.

Initial squad is shown below- subject to change based on injuries and arrival times
N. Barber
M. Bennett
E. Brewer

J. Clay
T. Helliwell
S. Jones
B. Middleton
T. Murgatroyd
G. Poole
M. Rollinson
