Rugby League: Mayfield facing toughest game of the season

Date published: 14 June 2018


Rochdale Mayfield face arguably their toughest game of the season so far on Saturday with their trip to Leeds, where they face undefeated league leaders Hunslet club, Parkside.

Hunslet have taken the division by storm since gaining promotion last year.

They are averaging over twenty-five points per game and conceding less than ten, great stats.

Mayfield’s undoing last week was their poor start to the game, conceding four tries before they got themselves together and put up some sort of challenge. They cannot make that same start against a side like Hunslet or they will be made to pay dearly.

Training has been intense this week and Mayfield trave knowing they have to get their season going.

The NWML side travel to St Helen's to take on Pilkingtons.

Mayfield are now joint league leaders and playing good rugby.

They will start as favourites and are hoping to claim the two points that could see them consolidate top spot.
