Both Senior Teams on the Road

No action on the Littlemoor pitch this Saturday, which is maybe a blessing in disguise - with the recent monsoon rains giving it the consistency of a sago pudding.

So both teams beat a trail down south; the 1st XV go to Ormskirk and the 2s to Leigh.

Ormskirk 2's await the 1st XV, fresh from their superb semi final victory last week at Rochdale, they travel in good heart to Green Lane, the nicely appointed HQ of the Ormskirk Rugby Club.
Back in November at home the Maroons had a comfortable enough win 48-12 but it is sure to be tougher 'ask' playing 'Kirk on their home paddock.
The hosts are just above mid table and have had some useful wins of their own this season, including over title chasers Tarleton, although on some occasions they have had some heavy reverses so it will be fascinating to see which team turns up on the day!

Meanwhile the 2s travel to Leigh to face their 3rds. Clitheroe are in need of a few wins to cement their Div 4 status as they are lounging in the nether regions of the table at the moment.
Clitheroe have yet to play Leigh at home as it has been postponed twice already, hopefully will go ahead over the Easter weekend.

Both games are 3pm kick offs
