Make no mistake, this is a big game! The pressure is turned up to 11 as we face Birkenhead Park who sit only two places and two points below us in the table; so we need a win and if I'm being greedy, we really need a good one too. With Pocklington at home to Harrogate, we have a real chance to create breathing space from the bottom 3.
Birkenhead Park were well beaten last weekend away at Billingham and will no doubt look to put things right this weekend. As we need to do after the Hull result. The thing is that we've stuttered somewhat this season though at times have played very, very well indeed. We all might want lots of the finer things in rugby but this weekend first and foremost its about the win.
Looking forward to the pre-Xmas matches, we have Kendal (H), Kirkby Lonsdale (A), Rossendale (H), Pocklington (A) and Harrogate (H). Three (Kirkby Lonsdale, Kendal and Pocklington) are in and around us so we have to start putting it together to look upwards, not downwards.
Come on Sandal!
Onwards!
