SATURDAY 9TH SEPTEMBER
KICK OFF 13.00
Douglas head to Kirby Lonsdale for the second round of Regional Two North West, where the hosts are looking to halt a decline from Premier North in 2021-22. Beaten heavily at Crewe and Nantwich in the opening round, while Douglas scrapped with Waterloo for a point at Port-e-Chee, suggests neither side are in peak trim, but home advantage will up the ante.
Douglas took several plus marks from last week’s performance, including the introduction of two new caps in Brett Pyke and Max Fairburn. Both looked solid in defence and as they tune in to the players around them, will make a mark in attack also. Chris Bollen, Blake Snell and Seth Waterworth will reap bigger rewards as match fitness kicks back in after long periods out of the game, and Owen Carvin is waiting in the wings to make his return. Douglas have the instruments and now just need to play a tune.
