This week sees the Aireborough Crusaders play their third game of the 2018/19 season. Opening their season with two wins, confidence is high in the Aire camp, with another strong squad named for a Merit Table encounter at home at Nunroyd Park.

A single point loss against Crossleyans back in March will have left a mark, so the Crusaders will be aware of the challenge they face this coming weekend. However, they have all the tools to face it, with a powerful pack, exciting backline as well as quality on the bench.

3 o'clock Kick Off, 1:30 Meet, to be ready to warm-up from 1:45, with lineouts to be a focus for the pack.
