Rangers set for tough away test

RANGERS coach Craig Farrimond

SADDLEWORTH Rangers have a tricky task on their hands if they are to make it four wins from the last five played in Kingstone Press National Conference League Division Two.

The Greenfield outfit face a very difficult task in travelling to West Yorkshire to take on a Bradford Dudley Hill club who are a point clear at the top of the division.

Thriller

However, Craig Farrimond's men could reflect on their weekend off on a job well done last time out at Shaw Hall Bank Road in seeing off visitors Crosfields - who were themselves the table-toppers until losing 18-16 in a thriller.

Rangers will have to fight off their away-day blues to get on top of Dudley Hill, though, having won only once on the road so far this season.

In Division Three, Waterhead Warriors are on home soil as they bid to climb away from the lower reaches of the table with a victory over third-placed Stanningley.

Jon Perks's side were beaten 22-18 last time out by rivals Oldham St Anne's - despite outscoring Saints four to three in terms of tries - but can take plenty of heart from that performance in with them to the contest against the Leeds-based club.

In the same section, St Anne's travel to play at West Bowling, who are second in the table and only a point behind leaders Rylands.
