Darlo clash is hard to call


20/11/2002

RU: There is little to choose between Macclesfield and Darlington ahead of their meeting at Priory Park this Saturday - not much changes.

Last season, Darlington's first after promotion into North One, it was a win each, with Macclesfield successful at Priory Park at the end of October by 26-23, but falling 28-6 in the North East in February.

Saturday's visitors have a game in hand and lie just two points behind the Blues.

They will be looking to be the first side to win at Priory Park this season.

They have played seven games, winning five and losing two.

Victories came against Chester (26-17), Driffield (30-24), Morley (20-16), West Hartlepool (48-0) and last Saturday against Aspatria (24-6).

Defeats came at the hands of West Park St Helens (37-41) and Cleckheaton (20-22).

A close game is in prospect as Macc seek to retain their unbeaten home record and stay on course for the target of ten points in November.

At West Hartlepool, Scott Goodfellow was rested after his injury the previous week and Andy Rice could not travel due to his commitments with King's school.

Jonathon Keep, George Browning and Ollie Hewitt all came off the bench for half an hour as the squad system was used. All should be in contention for Saturday.

Kick off is at 3pm so, once more, set your videos for the internationals and see some quality sport at your local rugby club.
