Skirlaugh Look to Complete League Double Over Bentley

After an unexpected week off following the late postponement of their fixture against Normanton Knights, Skirlaugh RL return to action this weekend with an away trip to Bentley.

The extra week has given the squad valuable time to recover and prepare for what promises to be another competitive encounter. Although the two sides find themselves at different ends of the table, their previous meeting showed just how closely matched they can be.

Bentley currently occupy a mid-table position, having collected 9 points from their 13 league fixtures this season. They'll be determined to make home advantage count as they look to climb the table and gain revenge for the narrow defeat suffered earlier in the campaign.

Skirlaugh, meanwhile, head into the fixture sitting proudly in third place after an impressive season to date. With 10 victories from their 13 league matches and just three defeats, they've established themselves as one of the division's form sides and will be aiming to strengthen their promotion credentials with another important two points.

The reverse fixture at Skirlaugh produced one of the games of the season, with the hosts edging a thrilling contest 20-18. It was a match that went right down to the wire, highlighting the resilience and determination within the Skirlaugh side while proving that Bentley are more than capable of pushing the league's top teams all the way.

Despite the contrasting league positions, Skirlaugh know there will be no room for complacency. Bentley will be eager to put on a strong performance in front of their own supporters, while the visitors will be looking to shake off the enforced break and return to winning ways.

With both sides having plenty to play for, supporters can expect another hard-fought, physical contest when the teams meet this weekend.
