9TH DEC - REGIONAL 2 NORTH WEST
KICK OFF 13.30
Kirkby Lonsdale make a maiden league visit to Port e-Chee on Saturday 9th in the first of the return matches this season. Although currently propping up the league table, KL won 19-13 at Underley Park in September and have a game in hand following last week’s postponements. Hooker Jack Laughnane will be out until after Xmas, along with Angus Wheeler and Brett Pyke. Luke Hyland looked fully recovered in his number 10 role against Winnington Park, and Liam Kirkpatrick brings open field marauding to his second-row stint. Josh Duncan may be one of the youngest squad members, but he brings a mature head to the full-back role – first to acknowledge a fluffed kick from defence, and last to bask in a booming 50-metre plus touch finder - where his seemingly effortless running style can bamboozle defenders
Douglas are beginning to find their form, although it was never far away as the five losing bonus points (highest in the division) suggests.
