2ND MARCH - REGIONAL 2 NORTH WEST
14.15 KICK OFF - CLAY LANE, ALTRINCHAM
It was the one that got away last November, when Douglas let slip a 26-23 lead with four minutes left on the clock against Bowdon in Regional Two North West. The return in Cheshire will be another tester, as Bowdon try to recover second place after tripping up at Crewe & Nantwich and allowing Waterloo to take up the chase of eight-point leaders Birkenhead Park. The good news for Douglas is the return of Harry Hewson to the squad, and after a three week break the physio couch has been given a breather.
With two games in hand on Whitchurch in 7th, Douglas have the incentive in the next three rounds to make inroads, especially with two successive home matches 9th and 16th March against Kirby Lonsdale and Crewe & Nantwich. The former is Club Day, and an opportunity for all the club membership to gather for lunch, or simply spectate and support. The latter is hosted by our headline sponsors Santander, fittingly the closing home fixture of the league season. It’s another chance to fill Port-e-Chee to the brim, and there will be a special presentation made during lunch.
