Saturday sees the return to Greenwood Road for Billingham. Last time out at Greenwood Road it was sounded out as 'one of the best games of rugby seen at Billingham'. Blackburn have to take credit for their part however Billinghams resilience to overcome the deficit and then to win the game saw both home and away support applaud.

Last week Billingham won away at Lymm. Storm Arwen had a lot to answer for with conditions making it difficult for both sides. Billinghams defence winning plaudits once again, another win on the road cementing Billinghams position in 3rd.

This week we welcome Cumbrian outfit Kirkby Lonsdale (KL). Plying their trade in North Premier since 2017 KL have found things tough this season winning only one game against bottom club Northwich.

Now one thing we have learnt in our time in North Premier (and other leagues) is we cant be complacent. KL are a North Premier team for a reason. They are a good outfit but just having a rough time at present. If Billingham underestimate KL we could see Saturday being very difficult indeed.
