Right....which side will win?
Crusaders on a bit of a dip, Dons improving slightly.
We competed at Rochdale until we folded, so we must have some sort of a chance ...
Will not be at all surprised if we don't turn up since we have not spung a surprise all season.
Anyone for a win?

I will save any prediction until the squad announcement on Friday, lets see if the three weeks off have helped the injured to recover.

We've got to have a better chance than we otherwise would have done had N Wales not hit a bad patch. Seeing how they beat us so convincingly at home, it's hard to be too optimistic but that was then and this is now...

Let's hope for the best.

Bet365 suggesting a home win by 16.

I can't help but think today's result hinges around which N Wales team turns up. If they play like they did at our place, they'll win by more than 16. If they're in the same form as their last couple of matches, we've got a chance of winning.

It's hard one for the bookies to call.

Great win....

Really pleasing result is that, especially the half time score. Well played to all the lads and the travelling support, deserved victory and all the more sweeter because of the warm up pull out of Connor Robinson meaning a late rejig.

I had my doubts over this fixture seeing that I expected NWC to have a bounce back, what the heck do I know.

Special shout out to Ben Howe who is proving to be a real asset to the club.
