18TH NOV - REGIONAL 2 NORTH WEST
13.00 KICK OFF
Douglas travel to third-placed Crewe & Nantwich on 18th November, having played the top two on consecutive week-ends. Achingly close to turning over the leaders last week, you have to say third time lucky with the squad growing stronger. Front-row man Jack Loughnane will surely be unleashed, and any semblance of the form against Bowdon will put the pressure on C&N, a team recently risen to level 6. Douglas used to meet C & N in the Cheshire Cup with some success (10-10 in 1979 at Port-e-Chee, winning 12-9 in 1982, 44-9 in 1986), and over several seasons of league competition in the last century, Douglas are in front in the head-to-heads.
Ex-Douglas captain (1966-67) Tony Thompson is meeting the Douglas team at Crewe & Nantwich on Saturday.
