The reverse fixture was played in the 30 degree heat of early September and ended with a 54-12 win for Rossendale. Weather conditions should differ slightly from that day but Leek will still face a real challenge from a squad boasting two ex international players in McGuigan and Solomona.

The clubhouse will be open from 12:45pm serving hot food, fresh beer, live TNT Sport rugby on the big screens and a warm, friendly atmosphere for all.

Post-match we will be hosting our annual Christmas Singalong with our very special guests The Awesome Twosome leading us off with some seasonal tunes.

The match is kindly sponsored by Dear Barber, we thank them for their continued support of the club.

Away from home our 2nd XV make the lengthy trip to Cleobury Mortimer to kick off the second half to their season. All aboard the mini bus as skipper Thompson's men will be looking to build on a solid first block of games with a win.

Please come and support the boys in blue and white home and away!
