This Saturday, Sandbach travel to the Isle of Man to face Douglas. Last time they made the trip they earned a significant hard fought away win. Douglas, who have a game in hand, dropped down to fourth in the table after narrowly losing to West Park (St Helens) on Saturday. However this fixture could prove pivotal for both teams’ title challenge and Sandbach and their travelling contingent will be hoping for a repeat performance of last season.

Fingers crossed that the weather is not too unkind.
